Enhancing your learners’ digital experience
»Phase 1 study reviewed students’ expectations and experiences of the digital environment at university and we conducted a review of practice in schools to identify likely incoming expectations
» In phase 2 we focused on FE speaking to 220 learners and 300 staff from colleges across the UK
»Phase 3 Skills study, speaking to adult & community learners, work based learners, offender learners and apprentices
»Prototyping a digital student data service to support colleges and training providers to gather their learners experiences of technology24/09/2015
Questions to consider
»what technology learners own and have access to when they enter a provider
»what technology learners expect to be provided with by their provider
»how learners make use of the technology and digital environments they are provided with
»how learners’ expectations of technology use are formed and change during time spent with a provider

Making it happen» Develop a digital strategy
and engage students in its development
» Support staff to use digital technology in a more innovative way by developing partnerships with students
» Develop a continual process of evaluation - understand how current services meet the needs of students and encourage staff to evaluate technology use in the classroom with an ongoing dialogue with students
» Ensure there are rewards and recognition for both staff and students
Enhancing your learners’ digital experience
Learners’ digital experiences are strongly dependent on the confidence and capabilities of their teachers, but currently staff workload and career pathways are hindering staff development
