for all

And they are all linked to -
New technologiesNew pedagogiesNew science of learning
Optimism is a choice ! As are high expectations !
Pedagogy Where are the MOOC’s being used ? Do you promote course from EdX, Coursera and Future Learn as staff and learner development opportunities Where are you in developing and exemplifying Staff digital skills ?Do you value and develop Learner’s digital skills ?Do you make the most of Windows 10 , the network , the VLE , Mahara , Microsoft 365 , Do all learners have an eportfolio or somewhere to showcase their own work ?Are you using technology effectively for internal verification ?
Pedagogy How much learning happens out of the classroom ? How much can you open up to schools and the community ?How much can you deliver directly into the workplace Do you learn from workplaces ? Where are you with Communications / Numeracy / Digital Literacy ?
Pedagogy Green Shoots in Scotland - some examples • Forth Valley College and their ‘Pandas’ allowing extinction of
unefficient work practices Allowing course teams to plan and integrate delivery – volunteers – but changing face of delivery • West College Scotland 4-6K learners doing ‘free’ on-line courses
and positioning as Microsoft champion for sector • Clyde College – learning object repository and developing
learning lab at Langside Campus with new technology • UHI doing good work but behind all hidden in VLE
• What next – if you are thinking mobile learning – and more user friendly interface – what about https://www.canvas.net/ life after Moodle ?
Pedagogy Some Tools used around the system - • Turnitin http://turnitin.com/ Used as a learner
development tool rather than just plagiarism checker
• https://www.clickview.co.uk/ integrating video clips into learning
• https://www.lynda.com/ being used for staff and learner development
• Do you make the most of Jisc Collections e-books ? Hardly any colleges in Scotland make effective use of this free resource –Why ? https://www.jisc.ac.uk/e-books-for-fe
Pedagogy More tools used around the system
Are you making the most of Blended Learning Essentials • https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/blended-learning-
getting-started
• Have you thought about accessing cHow about free support from the Open University OEPS Project ? – learning materials on understanding open learning straight into your moodle ?
• http://www.open.edu/openlearnworks/course/view.php?id=2274
• Content from the Blended Learning Consortium ? http://www.blc-fe.org/
Pedagogy – staff development • Are you making the most of SQA ?Eportfolio work , Online Assessments , Learning Resources , Quality Data
• Are you making the most of CDN ? Workshops on classroom practice ? Highly rated and still free
• Where are you with GLOW ? - a gateway to schools and resources and underused by Colleges – GlowTV ? What could college contribute to schools across Scotland ?
• Are you using Khan Academy well ? How about Citizen Maths ? Or https://www.nationalnumeracy.org.uk/star-dash-studios
• Have you picked up and are you using Jisc materials and or pilots around Students and digital learning journeys ? Get involved – work around digital capabilities, delivery and assessment.
Retention ?• Do you do analytics ? – and how much
can they help course teams ? Tutors ? Learners ?
• Have you picked up on any of the Jisc pilots ? Get involved this will help you build the institutional dashboard you need.
Attainment and Achievement • For learners it is about making it real - It’s all about work placement or relevant external
inputs – work with teaching staff to make sure learning and assessment tasks are authentic.
• For Staff - “promoting and participating in teacher learning and development” has twice the impact (effect size) as the next most effective activity – “planning, coordinating and evaluating teaching and the curriculum”
• What Dylan William says about closing attainment gap in schools holds true for Colleges https://education.gov.scot/improvement/Pages/sac42-dylan-wiliam-key-drivers-for-educational-transformation.aspx Highest impact slide for me tells us that attainment gap often not between schools but across classrooms in same school . If we improve learning and teaching across institution can have biggest impact on closing attainment gaps. Improvement Hub has useful information for Colleges as well as schools !
• Remember last year’s global award winning teacher – was putting his own maths lessons on youtube – that should be within reach of many teachers ! And it could be in the reach of some of your learners ! Look at co-creation !
Who are the unseen competition ? Who are getting it right but Colleges might not notice ! QA Powered by Canvas eating up IT apprenticeship market

Are you ready?•WiFi ?•Social Software policy ?•BYOD ?•Open Moodle ?•Digital literacy and Digital participation for all – what do you do when a learner can’t access a browser ? •Who are your digital leaders – in the staff room and in the classroom?•Do you have any open practitioners ? •What’s your policy on Open Educational Resources ? •Where can I start ? •Which apps do you use ? What apps do the learners use ? •What collections ?•Where , how do you share, reuse , remix ?

Jisc Digital Capability Framework for staff and learners
What next?Beyond MOOCs Open Education and Creative Commons Licensing - have a look at open.ed.ac.uk see how Edinburgh University are moving – Colleges can do this too – Have a look at Canvas.com it could be next step on journey
A tutor for every learner – sounds far fetched but not that far off – look out for more and more artificial intelligence AI in assessments – where are you with systems in maths and literacy and digital literacy ? You can use some of the on-line tools already in public domain
Everyone should have their own personal learning space and be able to cope with collaborative and social learning How to combine the learning benefits of social and personal learning – The answer to protect staff and students is not facebook – have you seen Learnium ? Do you know where and how learners store their important book marks – where do staff share these ?
What Next ? Learning is already happening out with the classroom embrace this and embed it in your own teaching and learning – have you noticed that evening classes have disappeared – time to think about new offerings ! Tie this in with your blended learning strategy – Facilitating informal learning have you seen Barclays Digital Driving Licence , or Google Academy or Google Garage – and lots more – how do you embed this in delivery ?
For staff in support and delivery and for learners you should be building runway to lifelong professional development
Connecting learning in workplaces and classrooms – do you and your staff have a personal learning network are you helping learners to build their own ? Everyone needs a personal learning network that stretches beyond the institution and ideally globally
New forms of certification and accreditationOpen Badges have a place in this and Blockchain technologies for education – you are doing open badges already with digital literacy in community – what else do you need to give these more value. Learners should have these on their Linkedin profiles . The online CV
AnalyticsBig data analytics to support learning – AI and use of what was Tin Can Api now called XAPI Will never replace knowing your learners – but should support learners in knowing their own strengths and weaknesses
Right out there – classes you could fill
• Manufacturing 3.0 • Web optimisation • Analytics • Ad Words• Gumtree / Ebay sellers • Youtuber • Drone Pilots • Whitegood repairers – learning on youtube !• Managing your AirBnB / servicing Airbnb • Makerspaces/mensheds and new forms of learner engagement
• Start up support / incubators• New programme development does not have to be a long and
painful process !
