DigiReady: preparing learners for a digital workplaceJisc
Speakers:
Andrew Sprake, lecturer in physical education, University of Central Lancashire
Neesha Ridley, senior lecturer in midwifery, University of Central Lancashire
Chris Melia , senior learning technologist, University of Central Lancashire
It has never been more important to prepare our learners for the modern workplace, through equipping them with future facing, digital skills.
The University of Central Lancashire’s technology enabled learning and teaching (TELT) team have worked closely with the academic community to address this vital concern. They have identified digital skills demonstrated by students across numerous disciplines, which were not formally recognised but could aid their employability.
The approach has been to develop ‘DigiReady’, a new student certification which is underpinned by the Jisc digital capabilities framework.

Academics and engagement data - learner analytics in the real worldJisc
Speaker: Linda Hanna, interim head of strategic projects, University of Essex.
Rolling out an institution-wide learner analytics system presents many challenges. System and data challenges abound, legal and ethical issues arise, and stakeholder engagement can feel like an uphill struggle.
The University of Essex is in the third year of a four-year project to introduce staff and student dashboards across all its departments and is ready to share some insights and experiences. Following a year-long pilot, the Learner Engagement Activity Portal (LEAP) is now being used by staff and students across multiple campuses. Now that student engagement information is at their fingertips, academic staff are being asked to understand and use this data to inform decisions about how to best support students and different models for using student engagement data in academic departments are emerging.
This session will give an overview of the Essex project, discuss how some of the many challenges have been overcome and highlight the need for developing the digital skills of academic staff to take advantage of the richer set of student data available via a learner analytics solution.

Speaker: Patrick McGrath, education technology specialist, Texthelp.
The digital age we live in brings expectations from our students. Their daily interactions with technology are highly personalised, collaborative, communicative and full of potential learning opportunities. The challenge for educators is not about ability or access, it’s about context. How can we leverage these tools, and grab the opportunities that technology provide us all, but in a way that has a positive, measurable impact on teaching and learning?
In this short lightning session Patrick McGrath will work through recent research that highlights where technology gaps exist between practitioners and students. Attendees will leave with a proven, practical framework template that's evidenced by best practice example which can be adopted to help embrace technology as an integrated part of learning.

How are your staff and students using digital?Jisc
Speaker: Ruth Drysdale, senior co-design manager, Jisc.
It is anticipated that, within 20 years, 90% of jobs will require digital skills, so it’s important that universities and colleges are in a good position to prepare today’s students for tomorrow’s workplace. Understanding how students use technology and their attitudes towards its use in learning is a good place to start.
As universities and colleges are investing large sums of money into their digital environment, how do we know if this investment is being realised by staff and students using the technology effectively? In this hands-on workshop, delegates will have the opportunity of using tools and resources to support them with gathering evidence of how staff and students are using technology.
The document summarizes efforts to map digital literacy provision at York University. It involved restructuring support teams, developing a digital literacy framework, auditing skills in the Health Sciences department, gathering student and staff feedback, and creating online materials and training programs. The ultimate goals were to ensure consistent digital skills support, address gaps in student abilities, and foster collaborative provision across support departments and the university.

Higher Education's Answer to the Call for ChangeKaren Yoshino
The document discusses competency-based education (CBE) in higher education. It defines CBE as focusing on students demonstrating mastery of academic content regardless of time, place, or pace of learning. CBE appeals to institutions as it aims to provide better services to learners through flexibility, personalized learning, and leveraging prior experience and digital skills. Implementing CBE requires changes to policies, processes, and infrastructure across the institution to support the new student-centered model.

New College Lanarkshire was implementing digital ID cards to replace physical cards for its 12,000 students annually. This was to address issues with producing and distributing plastic cards at the busiest time of year, which cost over £1 per card when including materials but not staff time. The college partnered with Yoti to provide a digital ID card option through their app that students could download, reducing the need to carry a physical card. Over 2,000 students utilized the digital ID card app in the first year of implementation, delighting registration staff and being cost neutral compared to physical cards. While some students preferred a physical card, the program was considered a success and will be further trialled.

Overall, the document aims to provide guidance and best practices for implementing high-quality hybrid instruction.
Are social media platforms the new Library? YouTube, Instagram and TikTok are increasingly being used as sources of teaching and learning content. Textbooks come with barely a paragraph of terms and conditions about their use. The social media platforms, however, are accompanied by seemingly never-ending terms of service, community guidelines and privacy policies. Do you read this information, does anyone at your college? Do you understand the terms "takedown", "cease and desist"? Have you/your college ever received a "Getty letter"?
This webinar will provide an introduction to the convoluted world of copyright and social media terms and conditions. Buckle up - it could be a bumpy ride!

For many managers, there is a real challenge both in managing remotely, and having confidence about the quality of remote or online delivery. Most managers have years of experience of managing campus based learning, and have had the benefit of peer and specialist support on site. However, few managers have the experience of teaching remotely, so supporting staff and recognising good delivery is a greater challenge. This session looks at adjustments to their management approach that may be helpful, and identifies some of the key characteristics of well delivered on line activity.

This document summarizes research on blended and digital learning. It finds that blended learning can be as effective as traditional learning, though some students may struggle more online. Research shows blended learning develops independence and skills beyond the classroom. However, teaching methods often rely more on lectures than interaction. Strong design, social connection, and teaching quality are keys to student success online. Sources offer further guidance on implementing blended models.
This session is aimed at managers with responsibility for the delivery and evaluation of online learning and teaching. As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic colleges have been forced to make an abrupt shift to remote learning, often existing in makeshift offices. Join us as we examine the challenges that this new environment presents and the lessons learned thus far from approaches developed in other UK nations and further afield.
We will share our thoughts on what leaders have learned about how to manage their institution during this difficult time and how they are addressing the challenges now and anticipating those in the future. Colleagues will be invited to join the discussion, raise questions and contribute examples from their own experience.

4. Two key NESCol priorities
To develop staff engagement
and skills in relation to digital
practice and innovative learning,
teaching and assessment
strategies.
Reform the curriculum to give
learners the cognitive and
interpersonal skills they need to
thrive in the future.
5.
6. The Evolution of BYOD at
NESCol
• Launched in August 2013
• Phased implementation over 5 years
• 700 to c. 4300 full time students.
• Roughly 50/50 split FE to HE.
• Courses with specialist IT requirement
out with scope.
• Students supported to procure a device
via non-advanced bursary and student
loan.
7. Original
Drivers for
BYOD
• Exceed student digital expectations.
• Enable staff to be innovative and creative.
• Improve accessibility and flexibility.
• Develop staff and student digital capabilities.
• Improve learning environment.
• Reduce managed IT estate.
• Enable efficiencies in key business processes.
8. Many Lessons Learned Relating To…
WiFi
connectivity.
Technical
Support
Infrastructure
Device
procurement
Access to
resources
Staff training
Internal and
external
communication
9. Associated benefits of BYOD
High levels of staff and student satisfaction.
Improved attainment.
Improved learning environment via device reduction
Huge investment in wireless access at all campuses.
Improved access to learning materials.
C. 40% reduction in print volume (9m in 2015 to projected sub 4m in 2018) .
Introduction of student IT HelpZone – 14,000 calls during 16/17 & 700 PAT tests.
11. Persistent issues
Staff confidence supporting learners to use their devices.
Student digital capability at entry – myth of the “Digital Native”
Classroom management
Managing assessment on BYOD devices
Traditional pedagogies still persisting.
Teaching staff “don’t know what they don’t know”
Perceived lack of time to invest in CPD and curriculum redesign
12. NESCol’s
Current
Position
We are a good but “average” college.
Despite successful adoption of BYOD
Learning, Teaching and Assessment has not
been transformed.
Many staff still lacking confidence,
knowledge and skills in relation to digital
practice and contemporary pedagogies.
Pockets of excellence of innovative practice
but not College-wide.
So what is the solution?
13. So what is the solution?
• Three Year Project (2017 – 2020).
• Draws heavily on the Jisc Digital Capability
Framework
• Emphasis on developing digital capabilities of
teaching and support staff to:
• Embed the use of digital technologies and
21st century skills in day-to-day learning,
teaching and assessment to develop
capabilities of learners.
• Exploit the power of digital to drive
improvements in business and student
support processes.
