Lessons we’ve learned
Appreciative Inquiry
Good use of technology comes from good teachers
Learners don’t always
know how to use
technology to
effectively support
their learning

 “To begin with it was a bit
 daunting…. different from regular
 essays… but I found it really good.”
Context is key




“The seminars we did with [Lecturer A]
were really good and helpful and they
tried to make us comfortable with the
technology we were using.”
Social tools can help build group rapport




                    “I ended up talking a lot more to
                    people that I normally work with
                    and they probably wouldn’t talk
                    to you in class at all.”
Use of technology can be more rewarding
but requires more work




                     “[T]he easier option is to write an
                     essay but you learn more from the
                     group.”
Lessons for the sector
Benchmarking must not be a box ticking
exercise

Many small scale projects are better than one
big one

Understanding the student experience is key

The student experience needs to feed back
into curriculum design

The idea of Digital Natives is a myth

If you want to be excellent, you need to study
excellence
