• Recommendation 3 – to update on development of alternative assessment methods;
• Recommendation 4 – to update review of processes for feedback provision;
• Recommendation 5 – outcome of review of additional learning support;
• Recommendation 8 – to update on review of lecture recording policy (taking into account the University policy currently being developed by the Learning and Teaching Committee’s Working Group on Lecture Recording);
• Recommendation 12 – to update on progress made with harmonising course and programme materials.
