The Teaching Excellence and Student Outcomes Framework (TEF) is a national exercise, introduced by the government in England to assess teaching at universities and colleges. Professor Pachler will be on the subject panel for the 2018-19 pilot.

His appointment recognises his experience and expertise in education.

He chaired the Online @ UCL Task & Finish Group to undertake an analysis of possible approaches to developing UCL’s online provision and he now leads a pilot on fully online postgraduate taught provision. He is chair of UCL’s Education Information Services Governance Group as well as the Digital Infrastructure Oversight Group.

Working closely with the Director of Education Planning, Professor Pachler was the academic lead on the review of UCL’s PGT provision, which is currently being implemented, and he has been chair of UCL’s Academic Regulations and Quality Assurance Sub-Committee of Education Committee since its inception; the committee oversees the review of UCL regulations and procedures governing the design, delivery, assessment and award of taught programmes.
