Cultivating quality: student-driven enhancement of digital learning materials - Rebecca Mogg and Rhian Howells

The document discusses Cardiff University's efforts to cultivate quality in its collection of over 350 digital learning objects through continuous improvement and student involvement. Key aspects include: 1) Managing the collection's metadata using a SharePoint inventory. 2) Implementing continuous improvement through automated reminders for biannual reviews and monitoring engagement data. 3) Co-creating new resources with student champions and gathering feedback through embedded forms, which has provided over 22,500 responses used to identify enhancement opportunities.

Our goals 1. Manage 350+ digital learning objects in English and Welsh 2. Maintain a continuous improvement cycle 3. Ensure learning materials are student-led
1. Management: SharePoint inventory Title, type and topic area Department, owner Review dates Location / storage of source files
2. Continuous improvement Owners receive: • Automated reminder notification via email from 30 days ahead of the next update • Followed by weekly reminders until they check the resource and change the date • Updates on any specific feedback Monthly Google Analytics and YouTube reports to monitor engagement
3. Student-led: co-creation Co-creation with student champions on major new learning resources and those needing re-development Also: • User experience (UX) activities • Crowd-sourcing of content • Presenting in resources • Reviewing prototypes Teigan Morgan, Student Champion
3. Student- led: feedback Captured via Google Forms embedded in each online tutorial Monitored weekly for feedback and suggestions Amendments made or sent to ‘owners’ for consideration Respond to student if they leave their email
3. Using the feedback: enhancing provision Since introducing the form in August 2021, we have received 22,500+ responses Large majority are positive but there are also useful suggestions for improvement Can lead to simple tweaks or identification of wider trends in student requirements ‘Welcome to the Library’ induction: Avoiding plagiarism tutorial: “Very informative but not very interactive” Embedded mini quizzes at the end of each section “Useful but more videos and less text would be helpful” “…more examples…” Added student-led video and increased opportunities to practise
3. Using the feedback: decision making Quarterly summary reports of feedback and engagement presented and discussed at Education Programme Board Examples of responses • Promotional campaigns targeted to low use resources • Focus attention on high use learning objects when needed e.g. testing, UX • Investigate resources with lower ratings to see if improvements can be made
Future developments? Little opportunity to close feedback loop directly unless students leave their contact details – identify ways to provide ‘you said, we did’ feedback Create a better join between the SharePoint Inventory and our student/staff facing platforms e.g. can we create a web layer? Currently exploring using Blackboard to capture analytics data
