This document discusses dual-mode or hybrid teaching, where students are taught both face-to-face in a classroom and online simultaneously. It notes that dual-mode teaching works best when it combines the in-person and online experience into a cohesive whole that keeps the class together and allows all students to be included. However, it cautions that dual-mode teaching should only be used if it is pedagogically appropriate for both in-person and remote students and there is adequate staffing to fully integrate remote students. The challenge is to provide an equitable experience for both groups using technologies not originally intended for this type of dual delivery.

Digital is core to the UK’s higher education sector, enhancing and creating efficiencies across all aspects of the student experience and supporting staff in delivering excellence. Jisc is the UK digital body dedicated to the education and research communities. Jisc’s vision is for the UK to be the best research and education nation in its use of digital technologies.
“New technologies and approaches are merging the physical, digital, and biological worlds in ways that will fundamentally transform humankind. The extent to which that transformation is positive will depend on how we navigate the risks and opportunities that arise along the way. The changes are so profound that, from the perspective of human history, there has never been a time of greater promise or potential peril.”
– The Fourth Industrial Revolution by Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum
The UK education sector needs to transform to meet the requirements of industry 4.0 and student expectations. Artificial intelligence and mixed reality will play a critical role in successfully upskilling, retraining and assessing our workforce to ensure no one is left behind. The world of Industry 4.0 is one of high-level skills such as analysts, AI wranglers, problem solvers and creatives, but also a world of dexterity, such as artisans, carers and robot carers and maintainers.
What’s the first thing you do in the morning? What’s the first thing you do when you sit down at your desk at work? I suspect you are probably checking your e-mail? It wouldn’t surprise me that you leave your e-mail client (like Outlook) open all the time and respond as those little pop-ups appear on your screen. So how often do you check your e-mail?
- The document discusses priorities and initiatives for higher education learning and teaching, including:
- Developing learning analytics and personalization services, as well as digital skills and capabilities.
- Creating an "Intelligent Campus" using data to improve the student experience and institutional efficiencies.
- Launching a "Sticky Campus Roadshow" to demo a mobile digital classroom.
- Publishing reports on next generation digital learning environments and teaching practices.
- Working with universities to prototype new digital learning services and approaches.
Jisc has published reports on next generation learning environments and teaching practices in higher education and further education. It is working with universities and colleges to understand changing behaviors and needs of staff and students. Jisc aims to develop an understanding of next generation digital learning, explore and create prototype new services, and trial new approaches by partnering with innovative individuals.
The document discusses an "Intelligent Campus" project that aims to improve the student experience, make smarter use of campus space, and increase organizational efficiencies through the use of data and technology. It notes the project has engaged over 120 universities and colleges and is collaborating with a small number of pilot programs to test uses of an intelligent campus technology infrastructure.
Smart buildings and spaces are already here; the technology, sensors and data analysis capability are all available, but it isn’t all joined up and so has limited scope in terms of what we can learn and how we can use the knowledge.
Could we build not just a smart science park, but start to build an intelligent science park, where data from the physical, digital and online environments can be combined and analysed, opening up vast possibilities for more effective use of spaces, buildings, energy, people, and then some…
The smart campus is already here; the technology, sensors and data analysis capability is all available, but it isn’t all joined up and so has limited scope in terms of what we can learn and how we can use the knowledge.
In order to enhance the student experience, allow for more effective and efficient use of space, could we take the smart campus and make it intelligent?
Universities and colleges spend billions on their campuses, yet they are frequently underutilised and are often a frustrating experience for students. In this session, I will describe the campus of the future. How does a traditional campus become a smart campus? What are the steps to make a smart campus, an intelligent campus? We have an opportunity to provide our members with a service that can help them address that problem. If we extend our learning analytics infrastructure to collect data from a wider range of institutional software and devices then we can deliver novel insights to institutional managers to help them make their campuses more efficient, improve student experience and deliver higher quality teaching.
The future intelligent campus service aims to find effective ways to use data gathered from the physical estate and combine it with learning and student data from student records, library systems, the virtual learning environment (VLE) and other digital systems. This session will describe what data can be gathered, how it can be measured and explore the potential for enhancing the student experience. It will demonstrate and explain to the delegates what the exciting future of the intelligent campus. Importantly I will also ask delegates to consider the ethical issues when implementing an intelligent campus as well as the legal requirements.

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.

Building digital capability
Editor's Notes
Welcome to this presentation
Image Credit James Clay
Effective use of digital technology by university and college staff is vital in providing a compelling student experience and in realising a good return on investment in digital technology. Our codesign work with stakeholders in universities, colleges and skills providers has highlighted that improving the digital skills of the workforce, particularly moving beyond the early adopters, is a key concern across the sectors, and something that they want Jisc to help them address.
Jisc are building a digital capability service, comprising initially of four key components.
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.
A suite of discovery tools to help individuals and managers in a range of roles identify and reflect on current skills levels and digital capability, and make plans for how these can be improved. The discovery tool is currently in beta piloting.
A digital leadership development programme to support leaders in developing strategy and plans for the kind of digital university or college they want theirs to become, and the workforce skills that will require.
Tailored packages of online information and staff development resources.
We have published the framework, the background report, profiles…
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.

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.
These playlists will be updated as new content and resources are published.
Playlists will be personalised to sector, role, level and capability.

HIV Clinic e-mail error
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

Don’t ask the internet to name stuff, don’t expect them to take it seriously.
Location independent working
http://lawriephipps.co.uk/?p=8065
“Work is something you do, not somewhere you go!”
Obviously this is not true for many people – from chefs to hospital staff, work is somewhere you obviously go. But in a connected world, it doesn’t need to be true for everyone. Moreover, now, it is not just something and somewhere, but also somewhen.
Location independent working
The insistence that the only legitimate place for work to take place is within an office or a building results in a situation where it can be difficult to parse out where physical presence is actually necessary, because the working assumption is that it is always necessary.
Doing the iterative exploration allows people to figure out when face to face meetings are crucial, or can be substituted for with emails, Skype or phone calls, texting exchanges, or even social media DMs.
People can become more connected and communicative when allowed a wider range of possibilities, rather than locking communication into tethered channels, and mistaking physical location for presence or attention.
The web affords us new ways of working, new opportunities to connect. It furthermore allows for a richer experience of work and life, rather than forcing us to segregate our time from ourselves via physical location, allowing us to choose when and where we are most productive, and how to conserve our face to face energy for those times that truly require it.
But we mustn’t assume that staff have the necessary digital capabilities to do so.
There are various tools and services out there that can support location independent working as well as tools such as the VLE.
So people can work anywhere, anytime….
Isn’t that risky?
Yes.
But similar risks exist when working in offices and physical locations.
Presence doesn’t necessary mean productivity.
