Accessing the VA Dashboards
The VA dashboards are available from the PAS Dashboard Repository and are annually updated in December. For more information, please read the guide to accessing the dashboard.
Please note that to access to VA Dashboards, the Tableau Reader would need to be installed on your computer. For more information about using the dashboards below, and for a troubleshooting guide, please refer to the PAS Dashboard FAQs.
For a demonstration on how to install Tableau Reader to view the dashboards below, please use our video guide to Getting Started with Tableau Reader.
Inclusive Curriculum Framework
The Inclusive Curriculum Framework (ICF), designed by our partners at Kingston University, gives colleagues a practical way to consider elements of the curriculum separately to make an individual, manageable change. This enables staff to address some of the barriers faced by students who are identified by the VA dashboard as not achieving as expected in comparison to the benchmark. While the focus has been on reducing the attainment gap for BAME students, this approach can improve all students' chances of obtaining a good degree from the University of Greenwich.

Also, we have developed a unique model called the 'ICF Module Application' which considers the attainment gap, as well as the module evaluation.
