Student well-being in a computing department

We describe a project exploring the relationships between factors in the learning environment, student well-being and learning outcomes, in the context of a Computing department. A range of established psychometric tests identified areas of unhelpful stress in the working environment and measures were implemented to rectify these. A significant improvement in measured student wellbeing followed.
