PODCAST: Return to campus, digital learning, wider experience, examnishambles

This week on the podcast we consider the issues presented by the return to campus for students and their universities.

There are new reports on digital learning and student activities and employability to get across, and we think through how teacher assessed A level results might impact admissions.

With Smita Jamdar, Partner & Head of Education at law firm Shakespeare Martineau, Paul Greatrix, Registrar and Secretary at University of Nottingham, and presented by Jim Dickinson, Associate Editor at Wonkhe.
