Building capability for new digital leadership, pedagogy and efficiency, delivered by Sarah Davies at the Jisc Learning and teaching practice experts group
This document discusses the idea of a digital apprenticeship system that would allow for better tracking, monitoring, and reporting on apprentices, as well as more effective communication between apprentices, employers, and training providers. It describes holding a group activity where participants generated user stories from the perspectives of different personas like apprentices, employers, and managers. The goal would be to prioritize the highest priority user story and get feedback. The document provides examples of user stories and discusses possible personas to consider. It aims to explore how to innovate apprenticeship systems through a user-centered design approach.
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.
The document summarizes the proceedings of the 38th meeting of Jisc's Student Experience Experts group on April 20, 2016. Over 270 members attended the meeting to discuss gathering student expectations and experiences of technology, using social media for learning, and effective practice in technology-enhanced learning. Presentations were given on topics like digital literacy, learning gain, live discussions, feedback and reflection tools. The group provided input on Jisc's work assessing technology and employability. Updates were provided on projects addressing assessment, the digital student, and a student experience tracker pilot.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

45. The aim of this research
Digital technology has a significant role to play in the future of education
and therefore, the question is how we define the future of digital
education (Facer 2011) along with the effectiveness of digital pedagogy
(Beetham and Sharpe 2013; Garrison 2015; Laurillard 2012; Salmon 2013)
and how this impacts on the future digital role of the teacher.
Up until now, far too little attention has been paid to the viewpoint of
teachers and how they feel about the rapid developments in digital
technologies.

What do
teachers think
about that?
Teachers are the change agents!
47. Following FELTAG we asked…
If we want to shift culture, teaching, learning and assessment practices
we need to understand:
» What is the position of teachers and their thinking?
» How confident are teachers?
» How prepared and willing are teachers for change?
» How do teachers vision their future?
» What do teachers believe the digital student looks like?
» What support do teachers need to adapt their practice?

Editor's Notes
Welcome to this presentation for Jisc on Building digital capability.

The Digital Capability service comprises four key components:
• the Digital Capability Framework
• Discovery Tool
• Online Offer
• Digital Leadership
A digital capability framework which describes the skills needed by staff in a wide range of academic, administrative and professional roles to thrive in a digital environment. This provides a structure to help managers and individuals understand what is needed and supports the development of tools. The generic framework is complete and in use in the sector.
The Jisc '7 elements of digital literacy' model is well used and recognised (93% recognition from survey April 2015). Most other frameworks and definitions can be fitted comfortably into one or more of the elements as originally defined. However, since it was first devised, two issues have emerged as critical in living, learning and working effectively with technology: data literacy in an age of proliferating personal data, big/deep data and data hacking, and various aspects of 'well-being' (health, safety, work-life balance, relationships, personal safety and privacy) in an increasingly hybridised (real/virtual) environment. Some of the original elements also look a bit dated as digital practice has moved on and as discourse about digital literacy has become more nuanced and widely shared. The most significant change is to combine 'information' with 'media' literacies, as feedback suggests that users have difficulty distinguishing between the two.
This version has been adapted considerably from an earlier version in response to detailed feedback from 16 stakeholders (over 40 were consulted over the initial version) and broad brush feedback from consultation events, which are ongoing. There was consensus over the need for shared language and an appetite for a shared framework, but one that was mapped carefully to other frameworks such as the SCONUL 7 pillars, CILIP, ANCIL, UK PSF, Vitae digital lens etc showing how and where these representations add detail to the broader picture.
The framework was seen as most useful to:
• bridge staff and student digital capabilities (i.e. supporting discussion about and planning for both in departments and services)
• plan for embedding digital capabilities into specific subject areas (for which the 7 elements are already well used)
• map digital expertise across different staff
Looking to create more profiles, encouraging organisations and sector bodies to create profiles.

An individual user will be provided with a link to help them understand their own and build their digital capability.
This tool will help them discover their digital capabilities and assess what they can do to build your skills and experience across the six digital capabilities, broken down into twelve sub-elements.
Having answered the questions in the tool the user is provided with a diagram which reflects their current level of digital capability, which they will be able to compare with others who are similar to them.
They will be provided with a series of feedback statements across the twelve sub-elements of digital capability. The focus of the statements will be about helping them to help themselves to build their own digital capability.

The Jisc Digital Leaders programme has been designed specifically to equip current and aspiring leaders and managers with the tools and knowledge to inform their digital practice, enabling them to:
Become a more effective digital leader or manager through personal and professional development
Explore how their organisations can engage more effectively with the technology at their disposal – at both strategic and operational levels
Lead, manage and influence digitally-driven strategy across organisations, departments, services and teams
Strategic challenges across the higher and further education sectors, such as those posed by the FELTAG, Area Based Reviews, teaching excellence framework and open research agenda, need embedded, organisation-wide digital capability in order to successfully implement technology-driven responses.
These responses might include, increased uptake of cloud and data-driven solutions, adoption of analytics for decision-making and learner-support or improving network and learning technology access for staff and students to enable blended learning to happen more effectively. Digitally-informed and empowered leaders not only embrace the innovation, collaboration and efficiency gains these bring to their organisation, but also create an environment where others can fully exploit and embed them in their practice.
In a future iteration of this tool, they will also be provided with a list of resources and activities to undertaken to help them build their capability. These will be provided through dynamic personalised playlists of guides and resources from Jisc, professional bodies, universities and colleges.

Ask the question.
We know that staff who use tools such as Twitter are more likely to be able to understand the nuance of a tool such as Yammer or Slack. Those who don’t will probably struggle. The solution is not go do Twitter, but to realise that when introducing new tools, if you have an understanding of the digital capabilities of your team or staff, you can ensure that any training materials or workshops address not just the technical aspects of any new tool, but also the nuance of why it is being introduced and the ways in which it can be used.

A “mistake” resulted in the “leak” of 780 e-mail addresses of patients who attended an HIV clinic in London.
The clinic blamed the breach on “human error”.
There are some key digital capability lessons that come out from this incident. Why was “simple” e-mail been used to send out a newsletter, when there was a risk of a leak of sensitive data?
The clinic were fined £180,000
