Digital student - understanding students' expectations and experiences of the...Jisc
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.

Skills for Prosperity: Using OER to support nationwide change in KenyaFereshte Goshtasbpour
As a key pathway to improving access to higher education in Kenya, the development and enhancement of online education has been prioritised by the country’s government and is reflected in the country’s strategic plans, including the National Education Sector’s Strategic Plan 2018-22. To facilitate this development and enhancement, studies have suggested capacity building for university staff and development of their digital competencies.
To this end, a nationwide capacity development programme (Digital Education for Universities) was designed and delivered to 254 selected educators, managers and support staff in Kenyan universities as a part of the Skills for Prosperity Kenya programme. The initiative ran across 37 public universities and was based on an existing openly licensed course “Take Your Teaching Online”, which was reused, repurposed and localised to offer accessible online professional development.
This presentation presents findings from a mixed-methods evaluative study of the initiative, informed by data from a post-training survey (n=120), semi-structured interviews with 30 participants and focus groups with four university teams 15-18 months after the training. The study identified impacts of this OER on the digital competencies and practices of three groups of staff – educators, managers and support staff. It also identified areas in which substantial change has already emerged as a result of the course.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

6. 7 Key themes
24/04/2015 Jisc Digital Festival, 9-10 March 2015, ICC Birmingham 6
Don’t assume we are
digitally literateWe need ongoing
development
We expect the same
(or better) services as in
school…
We expect college to
provide what we need…
We expect modern learning
resources that are easy to
find and use
We want to work with
lecturers…
Ask us what we
need…
7. Recommendations
The project is producing recommendations for:
» Colleges: How can colleges undertake evaluations of learners’
use of technology? How can colleges engage learners in the
process?What support is needed nationally?
» Jisc: How can Jisc support FE managers to develop strategies
and practice in order to manage and meet learners’
expectations of the digital?
» Funders and partners:What further research is needed to
investigate learner expectations and experiences?
