Aligning IT and University Strategy - Paul Curran - Jisc Digital Festival 2014Jisc
City University London has the ambition to be a leading global university and is investing heavily in academic staff, IT and its estate. This presentation will start with a discussion of some of the major sectoral trends in IT supply and demand with a focus on education.
The IT service at City in 2010/11 and today will be described, along with discussion of the journey and some of the challenges faced. Particular attention will be paid to a move from a devolved 'cottage industry' approach to a more centralised and commoditised but flexible approach to IT service; changing student expectations and aligning with the University’s Strategic Plan.
The presentation will conclude with some observations on this transition for both academic staff and IT professional staff.
The role of UK higher education (HE), further education (FE) and skills sectors in developing student employability is clear. Technology can be an enabler to the development and communication of employability skills, but are organisations and employers making best use of it?
This presentation aims to share and discuss the emerging themes and ideas being generated through our student employability project, which explores how technology can best support students to develop and communicate the skills that are needed for the workplace.
The presentation informs participants of what has been learnt so far and engage them in discussions. We will:
Share emergent themes including issues and opportunities from the study
Share, discuss and build on ideas for what organisations, programme teams and we can do to enhance student employability and the use of technology.
Presenters:
Lisa Gray, senior co-design manager, Jisc
Peter Chatterton, independent consultant, higher education
Geoff Rebbeck, independent consultant, further education and skills
Who will find this useful?
The presentation will be of interest to anyone across HE, FE and skills with an interest in how students develop and communicate employability skills, primarily:
Senior managers with responsibility for employer responsiveness and employer engagement
Academic/teaching staff with an interest in employability

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.

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.

Learning Technologies can help improve effectiveness inside and outside the classroom. Technology should make your life easier; if it makes it harder, maybe you're not doing it right.
This document summarizes a presentation about leveraging emerging technologies for teaching and learning. It discusses how students are digital natives and engaged by new technologies. It promotes using tools like social media, mobile devices, and online content to enhance learning and developing 21st century skills. However, it cautions that the tools are not the focus, but rather how they can facilitate creative, authentic, and collaborative learning experiences.
The document discusses assessment in higher education, addressing what assessment is, why it is done, and how to design assessment for greater efficiency, effectiveness, educational integrity, equity and ethical practice. It notes that assessment is subjective and complex, serving purposes like providing feedback and credentialing students. The challenges associated with assessment are also outlined, such as its subjective nature and being time-consuming. Designing high-quality assessment and feedback is discussed as important for fair and meaningful learning.
The inquiring teacher: Clarifying the concept of ‘teaching effectiveness’Richard Lloyd
The document discusses three views of teaching effectiveness: the style view, outcomes view, and inquiry view. It argues that the inquiry view offers the most valid conceptualization. The style view focuses on teacher actions but fails to consider student outcomes. The outcomes view determines effectiveness solely by student achievement but diminishes the role of other factors. The inquiry view sees teaching effectiveness as the relationship between actions and outcomes, using an ongoing cycle of questioning, evidence collection, and identifying possibilities for improvement based on various sources of knowledge.
Assurance and the 3 E’s: Efficiency, Effectiveness, and Economysophiacuiry
The role of auditors extends beyond providing assurance on companies’ financial information. In light of today’s rapidly evolving business environment and the increasing integration between technology and business processes, assurance services also play a role in ensuring that business processes are effective, efficient, and economical.
Teacher effectiveness is vital for student success. An effective teacher inspires students through well-developed lesson plans, vibrant classroom activities, and a positive attitude. This encouragement helps students engage with learning and attend school regularly. As an effective teacher, one can act as a role model to help students reach their full potential. However, teacher effectiveness faces challenges such as engaging parents and understanding cultural diversity. Historically, 19th century teachers lacked training and autonomy compared to modern teachers who receive qualifications, focus on individual students, and understand today's multicultural societies.
1. The document discusses key concepts related to improving effectiveness in teaching and lecturing.
2. It outlines beliefs that can damage teaching effectiveness, such as thinking one is inherently a good teacher or that improving is unnecessary.
3. Effective teaching techniques are suggested, like engaging students in planning, relating material to students' lives, checking progress, and rewarding learning.
NEW THEORIES AND STRATEGIES OF LEARNING, TEACHING AND RESEARCH FOR GREATER E...Dr. Raju M. Mathew
The document discusses issues with current education models and the dominance of Aristotle's theories. It proposes new models and strategies are needed to make learning, teaching, and research more effective and accessible to more people. Some key issues discussed include the lack of innovation in education, massive inequality in access to knowledge and resources, and how current systems primarily benefit average students rather than all levels. The authors propose a new approach called "Knowmatics" to address these problems.

The document discusses technology-enhanced learning and its current state. It notes that while there is increased focus on core services and basics, pockets of innovative practice led by individuals exist. Students report that technology helps their learning when used by teachers, and they frequently find information online, work digitally in groups, and submit work digitally. The challenges are mainstreaming technology, developing digital skills for all, and holistically embedding technology while maintaining innovation. Strategic leadership, support, and viewing students as partners are recommended to help address these challenges.

46. A Blended Learning Framework
The need for flexibility in learning and the affordances of
technology provided the impetus for the rise of blended learning
(BL) globally across higher education institutions. However, the
adoption of BL practices continues at a low pace due to academics’
low digital fluency, various views and BL definitions, and limited
standards-based tools to guide academic practice.
Negin Mirriahi*, DennisAlonzo and Bob Fox
School of Education & Learning andTeaching Unit, University of New
South Wales,Sydney, Australia
23/6/16 SRC – Blended Learning 47
47. A Number of Issues to Address ?
Digital fluency or academics’ confidence and skills in using online
technologies remain low despite the availability and affordances of
digital technologies.The low digital skills of academics compromise
appropriate technology integration, limiting the facilitation of more
effective student learning …..Agree ?
There is no uniform understanding of BL, and hence, academic
practice is often underpinned by individuals’ own interpretations of
the term rather than a consistent approach across an institutionThe
inconsistencies revolve around the design, pedagogical approaches,
portion of online versus face-to-face time, purpose of blending, and
the role of technology….Agree ?
23/6/16 SRC – Blended Learning 48
48. Blended Learning Defined
»….a process of integrating the most appropriate learning
and teaching strategies, technology and/or media to
provide meaningful, flexible learning experiences to
achieve learning outcomes (based on Dick, Carey, and
Carey 2009; Holden andWestfall 2010).
