Why is your feedback so important?

Students have a major contribution to make in influencing the design of curricula, and in reviewing and providing feedback on their experience of college. Your feedback helps us ensure that future DkIT students will experience an education that is relevant and responsive to their personal development and growth as fully engaged citizens within society.

This is your chance to make sure your voice is heard and let us know what is and isn’t working well!

How does the survey change things at DkIT?

StudentSurvey.ie is an important source of information and is used to inform a wide range of policies, practices and initiatives, including the Moodle Student Support Hub.  The StudentSurvey.ie working group considers the results each year and identifies a number of possible areas for action.  Following feedback from the class representatives, 2-3 priorities are selected for the coming year.  These are reported to Academic Council.  IN the past two years these have included:

• The setting up of the Talk before You Walk initiative
• Enhancing the role of feedback in improving learning through Moodle
• Reviewing The DkIT Framework and Guidelines for Assessed Group Work

Did we mention prizes?

Apart from ensuring that your voice is heard, we are offering all participating students the chance to win some fantastic prizes by simply completing your form. As a thank you for your participation, there is a prize draw(s) for a Mini-iPad, FitBits, AirPods, Rag Week Prizes and many vouchers. Please consider taking this opportunity to have your say!
