Vikki Liogier discusses how technology is changing education by removing boundaries and allowing for more flexible, collaborative learning. Epping Forest College has embraced these changes by creating a digital literacy program that partners with students and employers. This includes student feedback groups, an e-mentoring scheme, and events. Jisc also provides support through programs like their Change Agents' Network. The college aims to develop a 2020 digital strategy through staff and student consultation to further move learning beyond traditional walls.
