Recurring use of 'patchy’ in relation to levels of adoption◦ Typically, experimental/individual/local initiatives
led by enthusiasts But interest in moving to wider adoption
◦ 12/38 planning to increase adoption substantially
Perceptions of adoption (2011)
Evidence of eSubmission becoming more mainstream◦ 18/44 respondents indicated increased use of eSubmission, in the
previous 12 months◦ only one reference to 'patchy‘ adoption
replaced by terms such as 'moving towards', 'rolling out‘
Some evidence of move to eMarking and eFeedback◦ Frequent reference to ‘pilots’ and projects to evaluate/test new
ways of working
7/44 working on improving technology (not evident in 2011) better integration improved robustness anonymous submission feedback tool
Perceptions of adoption (2012)
Anxieties about eSubmission, eMarking and eFeedback process◦ 31/34 identified one or more anxiety
Need for ‘Balance of progress Vs preserving academic choice’◦ Adoption being driven mainly by senior
management, learning technologists, students◦ Fewer examples of academic staff driving
adoption
