The document discusses how educators can help prepare students for 21st century digital workplaces. It argues that while technology has advanced rapidly, higher education has not fully adopted new technologies or changed teaching methods to develop students' digital skills. The document presents a model for educators to "create, collaborate and curate" digital learning experiences for students. It provides examples of augmented reality projects students developed to improve their skills in areas like teamwork and communication. The document advocates scaling these types of hands-on learning experiences through communities of practice and sharing resources openly online.

What is the evidence base?
• The UK Parliamentary Committee of Public Accounts (May 2018)
points to skills development lagging behind expectations of the
workplace as the pace of technological change accelerates
• The adoption of automation and AI technologies will transform the
workplace as people increasingly interact with ever-smarter
machines. These technologies, and that human-machine interaction,
will bring numerous benefits…they will also change the skills
required of human workers..accelerate from 2016-2030 (MacKinsey
2018)
• ‘Despite major investment in TEL, we are not seeing major changes
in the way technology is being used to support teaching, learning
and assessment’ (UCISA 2018)
• Significant challenges impeding Higher education TEL adoption – a
‘wicked’ challenge – complex to define, much less address’
Rethinking the role of educators (NMC Horizon Report 2018)

Key Themes
As educators
we are part of
the problem
Need for
creative and
tech savvy
graduates
In the JISC
2018 digital
survey, only
41% of
students
agreed their
course
prepares them
for a digital
workplace
How to bridge the gaps?

Create: becoming a ‘digital maker’
Novice or expert? Above – the high
technology, expensive solution
Below – fun with a 360 camera that cost £120 – students and staff co-
create resources together

• Changing the curricula for computing and gaming students
• They previously dis-engaged with their Personal Development
Planning (PDP)
• By flipping the classroom and asking them to create interactive
treasure maps – changed attitudes
• Technology ‘mediates’ for the ‘more capable peer’ (Vygotsky)
Collaborate:
groups

8. Nerds with Attitude
Word Game
• Pre-drawn triggers were
hidden around a house
• Each trigger gave an
Aura showing a single
letter
• Participants put letters
together to make a word
• Managed project work
online using Trello
“The first thing we
decided to do was to find
a way to communicate
between the group in
case any of us were
unable to meet up…”

9. Horizon
Treasure Hunt
• Auras provide clues
• Users collected a code
word from each location.
• Locations around
campus and local area
were used.
“The importance of
teamwork cannot be
stressed enough, teamwork
is the most fundamental
aspect ..if we had not
worked as a team we could
have failed…”
If you want to find more
you find directions on the
floor,
but for that little matter,
It’s a symbol for a letter!

10. The Fighting Peacocks
Campus Tour
• Campus navigation aid
• Using audio media and QR
codes
as triggers.
• Created a test grid
for results
• Mutual testing of applications
were useful.
‘(We )tested another groups game,
the results were very positive’

Sharing and Scaling
Thinking materials – a collegiate and evidence based approach – how to scale and share?
• Communities of Practice
• International networks
• National networks
• Regional networks
• Institutional networks
• Methodological approaches: design based learning
• Different ways of sharing- OER and Creative Commons

MY ‘THINKING MATERIALS’ ITEM
Googlecardboard
A cheap and effective way to scale; Low cost for students
We are almost there with co-creating resources with our
students, getting them to collaborate with each other.. And
we are building capacity as we start to Curate and share…
