- 20. Making it happen » Develop a digital strategy and engage students in its development » Support staff to use digital technology in a more innovative way by developing partnerships with students » Develop a continual process of evaluation - understand how current services meet the needs of students and encourage staff to evaluate technology use in the classroom with an ongoing dialogue with students » Ensure there are rewards and recognition for both staff and students Enhancing your learners’ digital experience Learners’ digital experiences are strongly dependent on the confidence and capabilities of their teachers, but currently staff workload and career pathways are hindering staff development 24/09/2015

Editor's Notes
- #3: Jisc work on digital literacies goes back to the learning literacies in a digital age project in 2008-9 (that’s where the ‘thriving’ term is taken from)
- #4: Found that this was well-used and liked in the sector, adopted as a de facto structure by many people. Decided to build on it.
- #5: If you’re wondering why staff, and where the students have gone – it’s largely still about student satisfaction and a high quality student experience at the end of the day
- #6: If you’re wondering why staff, and where the students have gone – it’s largely still about student satisfaction and a high quality student experience at the end of the day
- #8: See bullets for notes – previous findings eg from diglit programme
- #9: Lots of potential starting points and paths through – could ask them to draw on their likely paths. Though probably not cold – will need more discussion about the elements
- #14: Background: teaching, elearning now consultant on 2 Jisc projects; FE digital student and Change Agents. Also involved with OxB project called developing digital leaders.
- #21: Develop a digital strategy and engage learners in its development Support staff to use digital technology in a more innovative way by developing partnerships with learners Develop a continual process of audit and evaluation - Undertake an audit to understand how your current services meet the needs and future needs of learners and encourage staff to share their own evaluations of technology use in the classroom Ensure there are rewards and recognition for both staff and students
