Institutional case studies
This page contains two types of Institutional case studies - those conducted by Prosper, and those submitted directly by registered Portal users (registered users can submit their own studies in the user-shared section):
Prosper Institutional case studies
Since Prosper's launch to the sector in September 2023, we've been working with HEIs across the UK to facilitate adoption of Prosper's model and resources.
What this looks like varies from institution to institution, depending on needs, budget, and existing offerings. Prosper is designed to be flexible and (if desired) modular in how it can be used. Our modes of delivery outline three main ways of embedding Prosper, but these are guidelines, and reality of usage is more mixed and nuanced
This is why we work with HEI partners to produce case studies, looking at the different ways institutions are using Prosper. Nothing beats a concrete example, and we hope that - as well as showcasing Prosper's model and its flexibility - these serve as inspiration for other institutions thinking about how they can use Prosper.
