Over the past two years, the Jisc Assessment and Feedback programme has worked with over 30 institutions in the UK further and higher education sector to pilot new approaches that address a range of challenges to better meet the needs of learners, employers and staff. This workshop will share some of the experiences, approaches and lessons learned from these projects around key themes including:
Influencing change in assessment and feedback practices through a principle-led approach
Assessment and employability: the role of technology in supporting the development of skills and competences to enhance employment prospects
Feedback and feed forward: the role of technology in supporting learner engagement with feedback and improving progression
Electronic assessment management and how technology can support assessment lifecycle processes to make more effective use of resources
A range of resources will also be shared that can help to inform organisational good practice in enhancing assessment and feedback through technology.
The session will involve a mixture of presentation and discussion, giving participants opportunities to ask questions, discuss the themes emerging and how they relate to their contexts, and contribute to discussions around future priorities related to technology-enhanced assessment and feedback

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.

Growing a whole institution culture of commitment to student engagementJisc
As the student engagement agenda has gained momentum in UK higher and further education, there are numerous interesting and complex issues that arise and seemingly prevent a whole institutional commitment to working with students as partners.
Issues such as departmental autonomy, traditional hierarchies and power dynamics, and lack of time invested in innovative student engagement all contribute to a landscape where engaging students remains a project rather than a culture, and something done in a few departments rather than across a whole institution.

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.

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

Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

Editor's Notes
Get them to spend a few mins on their tables sharing what they do then ask them to feedback using Menti – show the results during group discussion later – or have the brower up and open and show the results coming in:

Ask audience their roles to see if they are more interested in using Tracker or its findings in relation to T and L – eg those involved in delivering learning
Those involved in supporting staff with Tel or managing TEL
Those working in library or learning resources?
Or other?
What is the ‘Digital Experience Insights service?
Well its not just another survey – we have all heard of ‘survey overload’
But this service is so much more than a set of surveys
Reposition /resize /remove text box as required
“I find it more convenient to submit assignments electronically” – 80% of HE and 62% FE learners agreed
Note – facebook group (4) messenger (10)
All meet baseline requirements. Applied at point of course creation
TEL tip 9 links to sway. Sent by announcement, intranet etc weekly. Need to push as staff do not all come to workshops. ***Do not know what they don’t know*****
Students acting as ambassadors
Going back to our research, the top specific ‘capabilities’ that employers seem to desire most, are a sound use of Microsoft office, the ability to carry out internet based research, and the ability to sensibly handle social media. These are all specific functions which most students and graduates would think instinctively they are capable of, but employers often want skills within these broad functionalities at a higher level, as opposed to just general use. Eg. Not just a basic ability to use Excel, but to do highly complex tasks with it such as creating pivot tables with raw data.
When we assessed the more broad types of digital capabilities which employers sought, we based our questions around a framework devised by JISC (the same framework discussed earlier by Natalie). The framework was initially designed to reflect the kinds of digital capabilities needed by staff in a wide range of professionals. The 20 employers who completed our survey were asked to assess these categories by rating them in order of importance from 1-5. All of these categories are important to digital development, but the most significant categories to employers, looking at this preliminary data, appears to be; ICT Proficiency, Digital Research, and Digital Wellbeing.
Within those categories, a variety of different issues were discussed in the survey, again based on the framework from JISC. The most significant issues to participants in this survey are: the ability to work across a range of devices, adopting new tools, managing a professional identity, and in particular ensuring that digital participation is conducted ethically so that the company’s reputation will not be put at risk.
