Key findings from the 2018 UCISA TEL Survey

Key findings from the 2018 UCISA TEL Survey | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

The ninth UCISA Survey of Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) for higher education Report has been published. The Report offers a longitudinal perspective of TEL developments across the UK higher education sector, focusing on the current provision within universities and other higher education providers and the emerging and planned patterns of learning technology usage. This year’s Report draws on data going back to 2001 in its longitudinal analysis of TEL trends. In this blog post, we will explore some of the key findings from this year’s Survey, updating the picture that was reported on in 2016 (see corresponding blog post).

TELFest: an approach to encouraging the adoption of educational technologies | Latif | Research in Learning Technology

Barriers to technology adoption in teaching and learning are well documented, with a corresponding body of research focused on how these can be addressed. As a way to combine a variety of these adoption strategies, the University of Sheffield developed a Technology Enhanced Learning Festival, TELFest. This annual, week-long event, emphasises the role technology can play through an engaging learning experience which combines expert-led practical workshops, sharing of practice, discussions and presentations by practitioners. As the popularity of the event has grown and the range of topics expanded, a community of practice has organically coalesced among attendees, supporting the mainstream adoption of several technologies and helping to broaden educational innovation beyond isolated pockets. This paper situates TELFest within the technology adoption literature by providing details about TELFest, outlining the results of an investigation into the impact that it has had on attendees' teaching practice and summarising some of the limitations of the method along with reflections on how to address these limitations in the future.

Biggest challenges facing technology enhanced learning in higher education

How important is technology enhanced learning to higher education? In my experience of talking to and working with many academics and institutions, technology to enhance or engage students is very important. However, having been asked this recently I also think we should be asking: what are the challenges facing technology enhanced learning? 
John Zuluaga's curator insight, February 23, 2017 6:32 PM

We for sure can overcome those challenges, it is just a matter of preparation. Training is not just a teachers' issue; in fact, learners are indispensable parties in the implementation of technology in institutions. Besides, it allows learners to be prepared for a future since in 21st century jobs, the use of virtual tools become a requierement for applying.

NMC Beyond the Horizon :: Digital Literacy

This event explores a pressing challenge for higher education institutions across the world: advancing digital literacy among students and faculty. As technology use is proliferating and becoming more ubiquitous in people’s daily lives, colleges and universities have become more adept at integrating it into every facet of campus life to enhance course design, course materials, and interactions between learners and educators. However, simply knowing how to use the tools does not solve the challenge. Education professionals must be able to tie the use of digital tools to progressive pedagogies and deeper learning outcomes to equip students with 21st century skills that help them flourish in college life and in their careers. Identifying and implementing effective frameworks is paramount, and a number of organizations and institutions are leading the way. Hear from an international panel of experts on their perspectives on digital literacy, the biggest challenges associated with advancing it, and recommendations for developing successful digital literacy initiatives.

ACODE-UK 2017 TEL Benchmarking summit

ACODE-UK 2017 TEL Benchmarking summit | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
The Open University and the Australasian Council for Open, Distance and E-learning (ACODE) are collaborating to bring senior Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL)  professionals and decision makers together for the first 3 day residental ACODE-UK 2017 TEL Benchmarking Summit to be held at De Vere Horwood Estate, Milton Keynes.

The ACODE-UK 2017 TEL Benchmarking Summit is designed for senior TEL professionals and decision makers to benchmark their TEL associated activities across good practice and alongside peer institutions. The benchmarks are designed to “support continuous quality improvement in technology enhanced learning”, and were fully reviewed in 2014. The ACODE-UK 2017 TEL Benchmarking Summit will be similar to the highly successful ACODE Benchmarking Summits run in Australia since 2014. Participants will come away with a better sense of strategically advancing TEL across their institution and an extended peer network.

The use of technology to maximise the student learning experience is a vibrant area of interest across all tiers of global education. Technology enhanced learning (TEL) is often used as a synonym for e-learning but can also be used to refer to technology enhanced classrooms and learning with technology, rather than just through technology.

‘Digital’ may seem unattainable, and almost alien, to a lot of L&D, because we’re so used to using technology in service of our programmes. But it’s actually easier, cheaper, faster, and better.

#LTHEchat 82: Evidencing practice for TEL (with image, tweets) · LTHEchat

Patrick and I have been invited to experiment with the #lthechat format. Hence this link to a google doc for anyone wanting to break free of the 140 character tweet limit. We’re also flipping. Some (not all!) of the questions are already available on the google doc (above). We are asking: Is there evidence technology can make a positive difference to learning and teaching? If so, where it is? If not, does it matter?

At its new Waterside Campus the University of Northampton is doing away with lecture theatres in favour of more flexible ‘teaching spaces’.

It’s the latest evidence of the university’s developing approach to using digital technology to enhance teaching and learning. Already, Northampton has redesigned two-thirds of its courses to support its ‘active blended learning’ approach and the new teaching spaces are part of a strategy to give students best value from face-to-face time with teachers.
