The standards and guidelines for quality assurance in the European Higher Education Area (ESG) approved in 2015 by the Conference of European Ministers of Education enhance the student-based teaching, learning, and assessment that should play active role in the educational process.

During the forum held in Glasgow, a discussion took place addressing diversity of student needs, the need to apply an array of different teaching methods that can ensure the appropriate student autonomy, whilst at the same time providing them with the required guidance and support. From designing educational programmes to implementing internal quality assurance systems, universities must give student participation the importance it deserves.

The difficulties faced, both in terms of adopting such a perspective as well as gauging its impact, throw open a debate concerning the best ways to pinpoint, appraise and support student-based learning approaches through quality assurance.
