Association for Learning Technology survey 2014

UCISA Survey for technology use
ETAG, FELTAG

all of them acknowledge that students carry with them more than one device, web enabled

Expectations are key - we know what they are, we need to adapt to them

Convenience = just in time. Flexibility of choice and resources when they want them. Even to support F2F activities

Bryan has created an image last year for this report - of what the space will look like in 2020 - I think that it looks like that now (2015)

Speed of change is rapid

This is from the ECAR survey 2014

They surveyed over a 100,000 students across the US most important place

When we use technology we tend to do what we did before we had it.

We think within the constraints of the environment we are in. It is very hard to think about changing if we don't know what we can do.

Developing skills is essential

Your Academic Liaison Librarian will be pleased to discuss how we can best contribute our experience and knowledge to support your students' learning - how can you do this if you have not embraced the new

Fundamental absolutely essential for the effective part of technology enhanced learning.

Definitions are everywhere but I like the ones that say we need them to engage with the world we are in effectively.

ETAG report has provided one here with further details:

Understanding the impact of new technologies on society, including the ways in which new technologies change disciplines (e.g. history, chemistry, English, etc)
• Understanding the nature of digital identities and being able to manage your digital identities appropriately
• Being able to interact safely in a digital world (encompassing e-safety, cyber-bullying, data security,
etc)
• Being able to locate, organize, understand, evaluate, analyze and (re)present information using digital
technology (including using dynamic and procedural representations) - what you might think of as 'the creative' making and doing aspects of using digital technology (though of course many other aspects of the subject are creative too).

MIT define it as "structured
opportunities to learn, which use more than one learning or training method, inside  or outside the classroom."

Students prefer blended learning - they still want to see someone but they also want the convenience of online resources

Students still want this - they want a library, they want to ask questions and sit down with a book in the quiet of a library with experts to help them when they need it

make tech part of your workflow

It is also a question of how? Transitioning staff who are used to a face to face role is hard when they feel that they don't have the skills.

Digital Literacies support for institutions is important. Teams across the Institution need to work together to ensure that they enhance the student experience.

It's not about taking what you do now and keeping it the same. Its about moving forward and taking what you do and showing the relevance.

- skills sessions (make them relevant to your audience)
- publications and books - provide lists that are shareable How about ratings? use the data

take the digital literacies and apply these attributes to them
creativity
communications
collaboration
citizenship
critical thinking
Information literacies

Big data - we have so much data from our online behaviours usually organisations and brands are better at using it to tailor our experiences that we do in education.

We can see patterns of behaviour, times of usuage, who, what, when where. if we see something isn't being completed then we can review the data.

No surveys (unreliable)
