- 5. » Explore with our stakeholders and end users whether the alpha prototype for a service to support the collection and analysis of data on student expectations, experiences, attitudes and satisfaction with digital technologies in their studies in UK higher and further education is viable. » The service would make it easier for universities and colleges to collect and analyse student expectations and experience data using well-designed and robust questions, and would enable institutions to compare their data internally (for example by faculty or campus) and with other aggregated, anonymised institutional profiles.

- 6. We want your views… »Outline the vision and benefits of a possible Jisc Student Digital Experience Data Service »Show you the alpha prototype of the planned service to gather feedback on its potential use by higher education and further education and skills »Offer opportunities to share best practice and guidance on engaging students in surveys of this type, discussions and activities relating to their digital student experience 21/05/2014 Jisc Digital Student http://digitalstudent.jiscinvolve.org.uk 6

- 10. What do we already know? 13/07/15 #digitalstudent http://digitalstudent.jiscinvolve.org
- 11. What’s already happening? »External (national/international) surveys: › NSS › NSSE › SB and LSS › SPOCS and Ofsted LearnerView › UCISA › Coralesce ed-tech surveys 21/05/2014 Jisc Digital Student http://digitalstudent.jiscinvolve.org.uk 11
- 12. What’s already happening? »Internal evidence gathering: › Surveys initiated by IT, Library, ed-tech team › Qualitative techniques e.g focus groups › Student reps: course/academic, user group, general learner voice/student experience › Informal, ad hoc feedback e.g. via social media › System data analytics 21/05/2014 Jisc Digital Student http://digitalstudent.jiscinvolve.org.uk 12
- 13. What’s already happening - leftfield »Students doing it for themselves »Social media: continuous improvement or quick fix? »Post-digital »Analytics does it all 21/05/2014 Jisc Digital Student http://digitalstudent.jiscinvolve.org.uk 13
- 14. What you told us: current practice » Everyone uses: NSS core set, internal surveys, student reps » Most methods used by at least half: exceptions NSSE, UCISA » Some organisations use almost all these methods » Less than half use external surveys to ask about digital » Most useful = wide range: student change agents, NSS/LSS core set, qualitative approaches (x2) » Fit for purpose = all rate 2/3 except for one 4 » Who leads = wide range: no-one; ICT/IT,TEL, NUS, L&T, other 21/05/2014 Jisc Digital Student http://digitalstudent.jiscinvolve.org.uk 14
- 15. What you told us: drivers for change »For around half the main driver was: Digital issues becoming more significant to students' overall experience »Others were various: focus on the student experience and service enhancement 21/05/2014 Jisc Digital Student http://digitalstudent.jiscinvolve.org.uk 15
- 16. What you have told us: how a Jisc data service could help » Share best practice › 'Provide a blueprint for how to do it well' › 'Examples of well written questions' › 'information bank... of what practice is occurring elsewhere' › 'nationally and locally' » Standardisation/benchmarking › 'systematic approach' › 'benchmarks for competitors, comparable size institutions' » Coordinating a sector data service 21/05/2014 Jisc Digital Student http://digitalstudent.jiscinvolve.org.uk 16
- 17. What are the real opportunities/wins? 1. Enhance current practice in survey design, delivery and response 2. Robust, tested questions (core/optional) 3. Add detail to other national (more general) surveys 4. Comparability (longitudinal, sectoral, other) 5. Demonstrate digital impact – if it does do that 6. Joined up data - if it is joined up (by Jisc? By institutions with help from Jisc?) 21/05/2014 Jisc Digital Student http://digitalstudent.jiscinvolve.org.uk 17
