ASPIRE student engagement criteria: evidence map
What an ASPIRE panel looks for under each criterion, and where course feedback helps
A requirement-to-evidence map for the AMEE ASPIRE award for excellence in student engagement, written for quality and curriculum leads at medical, dental and veterinary schools. Each row takes one part of the four criteria, shows the evidence an ASPIRE panel is likely to look for, and notes what Koji's AI-moderated course feedback can supply and where it does not apply. Use it to find gaps before writing a submission, and check the wording against the current AMEE criteria document.
What's in this reference table
| ASPIRE requirement | Evidence a panel expects | What Koji provides |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Policy and decision-making | Committee membership and minutes showing items students raised | Indirect: findings student representatives can take to committee |
| 2.1 Students evaluate courses | The same core questions in every course, every year | Interviews on your questions, with charts for rated questions |
| 2.1 Depth, not only ratings | Students explain their ratings and comments are analysed | Follow-ups on vague answers, themes with the quotes behind them |
| 2.2 Feedback shapes the curriculum | A trail from finding to decision to change | Recommended actions with supporting quotes, exportable reports |
| 2.2 Students told what changed | You said, we did messages to the next cohort | The findings to write it from; sending it is your job |
| 2. Peer teaching | Peer programmes and student evaluation of peer sessions | A repeatable study for peer-led sessions |
| 3. Academic community | Student research and scholarship | Not covered |
| 4. Local community and service | Outreach and service-learning records | Not covered |
