 \n• An experienced academic/education developer who would like some useful ideas or reminders of key principles of the approach;  \n• Interested to learn more about CoCO (perhaps with a view to using CoCO in the future);  \n• Interested in adapting some of the transferable principles and practices for use in other types of staff-student collaboration in quality enhancement;  \n• Managing or supporting staff and students who are using CoCO.  \nThis guide includes pedagogical guidance and practical information about the Cycle of Collaborative Observation (CoCO) model, training activities and tools.  \nAuthors: Victoria Wright, Vanessa Cui, Julie Hughes, Jenni Jones and Matt O’Leary  \nWe would like to thank staff and students from Birmingham City University, University of Loughborough, University of Wolverhampton and the team at QAA who participated in and supported the ‘Enhancing Learning and Teaching Quality Through Collaborative Observation’ (ELTQCO) project.  \nFor further information about CoCO, please contact: [vanessa.cui@bcu.ac.uk](vanessa.cui@bcu.ac.uk);
