Dear Colleague
DLHE circular 06_01 sought views on the development of a centrally-hosted web-based DLHE questionnaire and announced a pilot development for the April 2006 survey. Responses to this circular supported the idea of HESA providing a centrally-hosted service and a number of institutions have taken part in the pilot exercise.
At the recent meeting of the HESA Board, it was agreed to adopt this stream of work as a part of the Agency's core business. A project is now underway at HESA to develop a full version of the DLHE survey system that will be first implemented for all institutions for the January 2007 survey of 2005/06 graduates. The system will then be available routinely for subsequent April and January surveys. Use of this system by HE institutions will be entirely optional.
Further details of this development will be published later in the year. If you have any questions in the mean time, please contact the Institutional Liaison team at HESA.
Yours sincerely
Andy Youell
Director of Quality and Development
