Jisc’s research into students’ experiences and expectations of technology began in 2006 with the Learners’ Experiences of e-Learning programme. This became a reference study for the sector and helped change the way institutions understand students’ experiences with technology. Studies in partnership with the British Library, and work carried out by Jisc’s recent ‘Developing Digital Literacies' programme, have furthered our understanding of students' digital practices and needs. Now, through Jisc’s Co-Design programme, the Digital Student project has brought us up to date with how students' expectations are changing and what institutions are doing to keep up with them.
This workshop will offer delegates an opportunity to engage with the findings and recommendations from the Digital Student study and to consider what impact these could have in their own institutional context. A large part of the session will be taken up with a scenario planning activity in which delegates explore different outcomes depending on whether or not institutions rise to the digital challenge. There will be an opportunity to share effective approaches and to inform the next phase of activities being planned by Jisc to support the Digital Student Experience into the future.

Open badges are digital credentials that earners can display anywhere on the web. They are underpinned by an open accreditation infrastructure developed by Mozilla, which enables the issuing of open badges to recognise granular achievements gained through formal and informal learning opportunities and to capture attributes not picked up in formal qualifications, such as the individual qualities that could help a student stand out in the job market. This workshop will focus on effective open badge system development, introducing Mozilla and Jisc toolkits to support badge system design and a strategic approach to implementing open badges in a formal education context. The session will be led by Mozilla and Jisc, and will include tips, case studies and guidance on best practice in badge system design. Participants will gain hands-on experience with tools they can use for developing open badge systems for motivating learning, supporting engagement and progression and enhancing employability.

Learning and teaching reimagined - how are student needs changing?Jisc
Presentation slides from our first learning and teaching reimagined series, which focused on how student needs are changing.
The rapid move to online learning brought about by COVID-19 has caused profound changes to higher education and the student experience.
But how much do we really know about the needs of our students? On what evidence are we basing these views? Even if we are confident that we do have a full and accurate picture of these needs, what difference is it making to our planning and decision making?
As part of our learning and teaching reimagined programme with UUK, Advance HE and Emerge Education, this webinar provided the opportunity to share your own understanding of your students’ needs and to hear those of others – not least from students themselves.
It explores the value of different types of evidence and, crucially, how to then build on this insight to ensure that the student voice permeates through, and plays an active role in, influencing your strategic planning.

Identifying and driving change in partnership with students - Simon walker, M...Jisc
Jisc has supported the creation of a UK wide Change Agents Network to support staff and students working in partnership on technology enhanced curriculum change projects. The network provides a virtual and face-to-face forum for staff and students across the UK to share approaches/experiences and offer support. The network was created as it was identified that working in partnership increases the success of technology-led projects and delivers the identification of student need and appropriate action. Delegates will have an opportunity to hear examples of how institutions are working in partnership with students to identify and affect sustainable change. Students who have participated in the network will share their experiences and outline the benefits they have experienced in working in partnership with staff on curriculum change initiatives.
The network has worked with the Staff and Educational Development Association (SEDA) to develop an award for staff and students working in partnership on change projects, the Institutional Change Leader award and this session will offer an insight into how colleges and universities are recognising and rewarding student participation in change projects. Participants will engage in discussion around this award and will be given access to the accreditation resources and materials, which they may wish to take to their own institution.
The network has also developed a guidance toolkit to support colleges and universities with implementing student partnerships, which has been developed from the collective resources of a range of Jisc, Higher Education Academy, QAA and institutional initiatives in this area. Delegates will participate in a group activity using these interactive materials so as to evaluate their use in supporting their own practice in taking forward student partnership working in their own institutions.

It can be a challenge to provide engaging and interactive staff development that equips staff with the skills they need to contextualise and apply technology in their own teaching. The challenge is even greater when you need to change attitudes towards technology and encourage team working.
This will demonstrate a ‘Roadshow’ approach and how this has made a major impact within Learning Providers. Armed with a variety of mobile technologies for participants to explore, the Roadshow provides interactive training with an emphasis on collaborative scenario based activities, aimed at teachers and trainers. Participants are encouraged to chose a scenario or invent their own scenario, taking into consideration a particular student/group that they teach. They then use the technology to create a resource they then ‘sell’ the idea to the whole group.
How to get your institution ready for open access monographs - Ellen Collins ...Jisc
How ready is your institution for Open Access (OA) monographs? Although excluded from REF2020, there is no doubt that they will be included in the future, indeed you can already publish an OA monograph now. This session will first provide a brief introduction to the OA monograph landscape – what is happening, who is doing what, what models are being explored. It will then look at how institutions are responding to landscape and based on evidence collected through institutional case studies as part of the OAPEN-UK project, present tips for getting your institution ready for OA monographs.
The OAPEN-UK project, funded by AHRC and Jisc is exploring open access monograph publishing in the humanities and social sciences. The institutional case studies included in-depth interviews with Pro-Vice Chancellors of Research, Directors of Research, Grant administrators, Finance Directors, Librarians and Repository Staff and researchers themselves. The session will be presented by Ellen Collins, Research Officer for OAPEN-UK.
Jisc Monitor workshop - Jo Lambert and Brian Mitchell - Jisc Digital Festival...Jisc
The Jisc APC pilot project aimed to respond to a changing global Open Access (OA) landscape by exploring key issues around the management of article processing charges. By bringing together representatives from academic institutions, publishers, funders and intermediaries, the project explored different approaches to managing Article Processing Charges (APCs) and investigated opportunities for achieving greater efficiencies.
The project indicated that Open Access publishing activity must be considered in its entirety to deliver maximum efficiencies within an institutional context. Following the pilot project, Jisc OA Monitor aims to provide a shared service enabling institutions to collate, analyse and report on all of its Open Access publishing activities and outputs (Green and Gold) both internally and to its funders. The service will offer institutions an insight into their degree of compliance with funder mandates and encourage international co-operation to assist in the development of processes, systems and standards that facilitates the sharing and exchange of relevant information between institutional, publisher and vendor systems.
An overview of Jisc OA Monitor outlining its core components. Community engagement and co-design is a key aspect of Jisc OA Monitor and the workshop will enable participants to contribute ideas to inform development of this new service.
Meeting the Research Data Management Challenge - Rachel Bruce, Kevin Ashley, ...Jisc
Universities and researchers need to be able to manage research data effectively to fulfil research funders requirements and ultimately to contribute to research excellence. UK universities are comparatively well advanced in what is a global challenge, but none the less there needs to be further advances in university policy, technical and support services. This session will share best practice in research data management and information about key tools that can help to develop university solutions; and it will also inform participants about the latest Jisc initiatives to help build university research data services and shared services.
Wikipedia: a platform for learners as producers #W03 - Dr Martin Poulter - Ji...Jisc
“Looking under the bonnet” of Wikipedia's open publication process is a chance to promote an informed, appropriately critical understanding of the free encyclopaedia that learners are already using ubiquitously. Discussing and challenging Wikipedia policies could support the teaching of general information literacy at any level. When learners improve or review Wikipedia articles, this involves them in defining established knowledge in their subjects.
To date, more than 500 course leaders in universities have set assignments in which students improve Wikipedia articles for course credit. In some areas such as psychology, management or politics, a large proportion of Wikipedia’s quality content has been produced by learners. In turn, the learners get to experience publication and review, where they are expected to read, analyse, write, and reference to a high standard.
According to the Wikimedia Foundation, a great majority of students surveyed say they prefer Wikipedia assignments to traditional assignments, and find writing for a global audience motivating. On the negative side, writing for the public can be daunting, Wikipedia’s encyclopaedic style can be hard to adjust to, and Wikipedian feedback can be blunt. So a Wikipedia assignment cannot be wandered into. It needs advance planning and careful monitoring.
Enabling mobile learning - Jisc Digital Festival 2014Jisc
Mobile learning is the “exploitation of ubiquitous handheld hardware, wireless networking and mobile telephony to facilitate, support, enhance and extend the reach of teaching and learning” (MoLeNET, quoted in Jisc infoNet’s Mobile Learning infoKit). This meta-workshop brings together Jisc’s advisory services to deliver a wide-ranging guide to best practice and pitfall avoidance to allow learners to work with the gadgets and platforms most suitable and accessible for their context.
Whether the context is learners using their own devices (that smartphone attached to their hand, that birthday present tablet), or, in some cases, institution-provided devices, there are technical, pedagogic and organisational challenges to providing the learners with a high-quality, seamless experience. This workshop will introduce the wide range of practical, relevant Jisc resources, services and tools enabling the delivery of versatile, expectation-meeting, fit for purpose mobile learning.
This session will introduce the relevant resources, distil the key issues, and outline best practice in respect to mobile learning. Jisc’s expertise has already considered issues in relation to strategy and relationship to institutional mission, pedagogy, curriculum design and delivery, learning resource issues, technical implementation, legal issues, accessibility and inclusion, and training needs.
Digital storytelling for public engagement - Dr Caroline Ingram and Chris Tho...Jisc
Instinctively, when people have wanted to communicate complex ideas in a simple way, encourage others to take action or demonstrate the impact of something on the real world, we have turned to stories to help.
Away from our institutions we’re telling and absorbing stories all the time. But despite this fact it’s not something we do enough of as part of our practice.
Digital storytelling is an idea that has been around for a few years but remains underused in public engagement activities. Unlike full scale video production, digital storytelling refers to a variety of technologies and approaches that allow people without advanced digital media skills to create short pieces of engaging narrative-based video, usually relating a personal experience.
Digital storytelling has applications in many areas including working with community groups, showing evidence of impact and encouraging public engagement with research.
The session aims to inspire you to investigate how you can use this flexible and accessible approach to dramatically enhance how you communicate with diverse external audiences.
We will show some example stories, including one from a practitioner academic who works in the overlapping areas of education, academia and technology. As well as evaluating these stories you will have an opportunity to develop some ideas for how you could use the techniques and find out about some of the important technological aspects of digital storytelling.
Aligning IT and University Strategy - Paul Curran - Jisc Digital Festival 2014Jisc

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

3. Digital Student Project
12/03/2014 Jisc Digital Student http://digitalstudent.jiscinvolve.org.uk 3
» Digital Student phase 1 study conducted a review into students’
expectations and experiences of the digital environment at university
» The study reviewed existing research and survey evidence from
institutions, as well as conducting original interviews and focus groups
» Jisc and its co-design partners (UCISA, SCONUL, RLUK and RUGIT) are
now supporting a consultation phase across the higher education sector
which will inform the final guidance to institutions and further actions by
Jisc and its partners
» A parallel study in FE and Skills with similar consultation events will
shortly get underway
» Review of current practice in secondary schools is also underway
» Find out more at http://digitalstudent.jiscinvolve.org #digitalstudent
4. Digital Student - Phase 1
12/03/2014 Jisc Digital Student http://digitalstudent.jiscinvolve.org.uk 4
» An initial study reviewed existing evidence about students'
expectations and experiences of study in a digital environment.
This includes both:
› digital environment generally e.g. wifi, IT support, access to
devices and printers
› the study environment in its digital aspects e.g. how digital
resources and media are used; what software students access,
how they use their own devices and services to support learning
› The study also looked at how universities collect, manage and
analyse such information locally, and how they engage students
in a productive dialogue about their digital experience.
5. Some tensions
12/03/2014 Jisc Digital Student http://digitalstudent.jiscinvolve.org.uk 5
digital know-how
personal/social
expectations
schools/workplaces
frictionless use

6. So what?
12/03/2014 Jisc Digital Student http://digitalstudent.jiscinvolve.org.uk 6
Can your institution meet students' rising
expectations of digital access and use?
Do your students' learning experiences prepare
them to live and work in a digital society?

7. The student digital experience in 2020
»The year is 2020.
»How will students
experience the digital
environment of university...
»... in a number of different
future scenarios?

8. The process
12/03/2014 Jisc Digital Student http://digitalstudent.jiscinvolve.org.uk 8
» Introduction - some
common ground for all the
scenarios
» Groupwork (at tables of 5-
8): elaborate one future
scenario
» Ideas captured and shared
on posters
9. Principles to remember
» Scenarios are ‘tools for
thinking with’, not predictions.
» 2020 is not that far ahead so
think continuous rather than
discontinuous change
» Much of the common ground
can be ignored...
» ...what matters is how things
are different for students and
institutions in the four
scenarios.
