Future Online Learning Environment Project Update February 2015
- 1. Future Online Learning Environment Project update February 2015
- 2. • 2012-13 – Start of the review process, analysis of NSS comments, discussions across UH • 2013-14 – Introduced changes to StudyNet to address comments regarding presentation, clarity, ease of finding resources – School consultations about what is required from an online learning environment – Follow-up consultations regarding concepts of Guided Learner Journey and Communications and Collaboration What has been happening up to now?
- 3. Are they…. The students’ perspective of the learning pathways through their modules?
- 4. 1. be simple and intuitive to use and developed around the needs of students and staff 2. provide a personalised portal that will support a range of pedagogically sound learning and assessment opportunities 3. facilitate effective communication between staff and students; students and their peers; and students and their representatives 4. facilitate the provision of a consistent experience across a student’s modules 5. give students a clear sense of their learning pathways (within each module and across their modules) 6. enable students to enhance their learning pathways and create a record of their learning by annotating, adding to it and sharing it as they see fit 7. provide effective data analytic and module feedback mechanisms to facilitate module enhancement, student success and student satisfaction 8. seamlessly integrate third party services, giving staff and students greater choice in how to support and engage in learning Guided Learner Journey Guided Learner Journey
- 5. •Access to integrated University services, course materials, online library, coursework submission, results, social, etcSingle Portal •Targeted messages for groups •General news and events Single Communications Channel •UH profiling of portal using student record •Scope for personal customisation, features and toolsPersonalisation •Groupwork and discussions •Personal messaging Peer interactivity, collaboration & sharing •Marking tools & Feedback options •Dashboard of collated performance data for staff and student Rich tools for assessment & feedback The Key Strengths we want to continue…
- 6. StudyNet to Future OLE: Key Changes Repository of materials Overall control Prescribed services Mass messaging One way (UH to student) Data collection Guided learner journey Targeted timely messages Multi-way conversation and feedback Analytics & Use Student choice ‘Bring your own’ Control of essential core only

- 10. Anticipated benefits… • For students – Cross-programme view of assessment , learning activities and learning outcomes – Better guidance on expected learning activities – Different ways to visualise and access the module resources – The ability for students to comment on, and supplement, resources and learning activities – More consistent and more intuitive experience – Better search facilities – Potential for better understanding of programme looking forwards and looking back • For staff – Automatically generates a programme view of assessment – Shows a programme view of other learning activities (bottlenecks, resources issues) – Better sense of students (eg through level of student additions to resources - enhanced data analytics will be part of the project) – An easier interface to create richer content Guided Learner Journey
- 11. How might it work? The starting point is the module plan - eg Guided Learner Journey
- 12. Demo
- 13. • ‘Generic’ Academic Skills Module – Can your students participate in the module and provide feedback • Mock Up an Existing StudyNet Module – Provide further feedback / discussion – Availability of students to provide feedback compared to existing module? Your Involvement
Editor's Notes
- Making good decisions about what to do to get the best out of learning opportunities may be unclear – the path ahead may be daunting Tutors have a good understanding of where the module is heading and usually have a good idea of the path students need to follow to learn what they need in order to be successful on the module.
- Students have called for a more standardised approach to the use of StudyNet since its inception (and students elsewhere for their OLEs) The sorts of different approach that can cause confusion include where module resources (eg lecture notes) are housed, different folder structures (eg by topic, week, lecturer or a combination), where information about assessments is located (eg Assessments, module information) . Whilst each module team may have a perfectly reasonable rationale for doing things their way, it is important to locate the overall student experience at the centre of module design. Equally, because students may need to explore a site in different ways at different times (eg contrast planning this week’s work , when a chronological structure is important versus trying to find something particular, when a topic based structure may help – perhaps the future LOE should permit students to reconfigure their websites according to need at the time? Maybe we can learn from the sort feature in outlook?
- Existing strengths identified as recognised good and leading practice and rated by students
- Reminder of key principles for next generation future OLE Yellow = current culture and main StudyNet use by staff Green = shift for the future Green underpins the strands of the project plan Focus on Guided Learner journey today
- Content Repository - Will be reviewed when prototyping has been completed and we understand the full set of requirements IRD - New project underway to provide an enhanced search and discovery facility for information resources Google-like search, with more relevant results Better linkages to modules Optional Tools - Carried out a review of other learning technologies Reviewing online assessment tools Integrating Dropbox, Youtube, Vimeo into StudyNet Comms &Collab - Wish list included: Alerts to relevant changes on StudyNet (new resources, etc) to home page and mobile devices More relevant communication channels which meet individual preferences Better directory of University members Offer a choice of channels to send and receive messages Provide a collaborative learning environment with online storage – personal and shareable (dropbox) – and online meetings / groupwork tools, with managed lists to communicate with (eg my cohort, my module tutorial group)
