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.
Online teaching: overcoming the challenges, 20 October 2020Jisc
There is no one right way to use technology to underpin the curriculum. The range of possibilities can make it difficult for practitioners to know where to start, but as universities and colleges adapt to the new normal of teaching in hybrid environments support is needed to ‘get it right.’
There will be challenges, but you can overcome these if time and resources are directed at the right things. There are lots of misunderstandings about what it means to use technology to support teaching, learning and assessment. Academic staff need to approach the challenge with an awareness of those misconceptions as well as with a critical and creative mindset.
This webinar will showcase examples of how universities and colleges are currently adapting to provide flexible approaches to learning using digital. The focus will be on what lessons we have learned over the last six months and how we can make online learning a transformative experience for learners, rather than a deficit model.

Online learning is education that takes place over the Internet. It is often referred to as “e- learning” among other terms. However, online learning is just one type of “distance learning” - the umbrella term for any learning that takes place across distance and not in a traditional classroom.
Learning and teaching reimagined, a new dawn for higher education?Jisc
Learning and teaching reimagined is a sector-wide initiative that launched in June in response to the rapid move to online learning and teaching.

Doing better things: transforming how we use Turnitin for learningJisc
Students have an increasing expectation for academic interactions via the same all-pervasive technologies they use socially. How to marry this need for digital engagement with the rigours and expectations of the assessment process is a challenge faced by many institutions.
Beyond being a mechanism for managing academic misconduct Turnitin, via Feedback Studio is increasingly being adopted by institutions as a tool for Electronic Management of Assessment (EMA) in order to address this challenge.
Learn how technology is engaging and empowering students in the assessment process through innovative approaches to providing constructive and timely feedback beyond a tick or a cross.
