This document summarizes a student feedback study on technology-enhanced learning. It surveyed over 700 students to understand their learning preferences and experiences. The majority of students indicated a preference for hands-on, active learning styles over passive styles like solely reading or listening. Based on the findings, the researchers recommend that instructors use a variety of teaching methods that engage multiple senses, like visual, audio, and kinesthetic, and receive training to effectively integrate technology into their teaching. Overall, the study aims to improve the learning experience for students by better understanding their preferences and making recommendations to instructors.
![I do not have a preferred learning style, I am a visual, audio and kinisthetic learner.Make lectures as varied as possible, with video, audio, pictures, moving diagrams etc. I like writing wiki-articles on topics of my interest, which also puts new stuff in order and I remember it for a very long time.I like them to be very interactiveI cannot learn parrot fashion - if I don't understand something I won't remember it! Simply being read to, with little interactivity, is unlikely to work well. Learn how to use it [technology] properly. I prefer group study (or peer to peer studying) rather than individual work.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/gregynog2011au-gwella-110610064224-phpapp02/85/Gregynog2011-au-gwella-12-320.jpg)

Editor's Notes
- #5: We had stands at open days to approach potential studentsThe survey was widely promoted to current students through facebook, our uni weekly email, and stands in the library and students union so as to approach students and explain about the survey and encourage them to fill it in.Representation from all departments – which meant that we have results to present to all departments from their students.All students we spoke to were very enthusiastic
- #7: Mary – 5 mins
