4. Joint Information Systems Committee Strategy Oxford Brookes University e-learning strategy is embedding the notion of the digitally literate learner into programme planning We will work with schools to specify the digital literacies Brookes graduates will develop We will work with schools to support curriculum redesign and development that maps these skills across their programmes 15/04/2014 | slide 4

12. Joint Information Systems Committee Learner centred practices Learners have a right to comment on the quality of the education they receive, including the role of technology Learners can be central to the quality improvement process in education Involving learners in the planning and development of e- learning provision can help ensure that investment has the desired benefits Learners have new expectations of the whole of their educational experience, thanks to the pervasive impact of technology in their lives If your institution is doing this well, Id like to hear from you! 15/04/2014 | slide 12
