2 UCISA ACADEMIC SUPPORT GROUP UCISA Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) Survey  National survey, undertaken by UCISA, into matters relating to Technology Enhanced Learning in UK Higher Education (HE).  Questionnaire sent to all HE institutions across the UK  Surveys conducted in 2001, 2003, 2005, 2008, 2010 and 2012. At each stage a longitudinal analysis was undertaken.  2014 survey launched in January 2014, report due September 2014  In 2010 and 2012, survey was accompanied by a series of case studies.  View survey and case studies reports at: www.ucisa.ac.uk/telwww.ucisa.ac.uk/tel UCISA good practice case studies  Effective use of mobile technologies (2014): www.ucisa.ac.uk/publications/effective_use.aspxwww.ucisa.ac.uk/publications/effective_use.aspx

3 DEVELOPMENTS OVER THE PAST DECADE (2003-2013) Capacity building (2003-2008)  HEFCE Teaching Quality Enhancement Fund  Pump-priming supported investment in centrally managed TEL services  Initial investment in Virtual Learning Environments and consideration of Managed Learning Environments Disruption and renewal? (2012- )  MOOCs - Increased interest in online provision and outreach  Flipped classroom  Mobile technologies  Increasing demand from students  Higher Education Academy benchmarking activities  Reflection of e-learning investment and strategic priorities  Consolidation of existing services, e.g. VLE, assessment tools (e-submission, plagiarism detection) Consolidation of TEL services (2008-2012)

8 INCREASING FOCUS ON STUDENTS

9 STUDENT EXPECTATIONS Expectation that technology will:  Enable more flexible learning (National Union of Students, 2010)  Offer better administration, resource provision and support for independent learning and  Be applied where relevant, but will not undermine contact time on campus (Bone, 2013) Expectation of students as partners, not consumers. Active involvement in  Scoping and planning TEL developments  Co-creation - curriculum design (Wenstone, 2013)

10 CHANGING BUSINESS MODELS AND STRATEGIC FOCUSES 2012:  UK introduction of £9,000 fees  only 3% of courses fully online  MOOC revolution  Launch of initiatives such as Udacity, edX Coursera and FutureLearn  Concerns about MOOC business models  Sparked interest in online education – accelerator for pedagogic innovation on campus?  Now considering benefits of MOOCs for on-campus students Courses on FutureLearn

11 NEW APPROACHES TO SERVICE MANAGEMENT Outsourced support  Top 3: 1. Student email (67%) 2. VLE (36%) 3. Staff email (33%) Outsourced provision  Top 3: 1. Student Email (66%) 2. VLE (28%) 3. Staff Email (19%)  Outsourcing of TEL support and provision not well established  But growing uptake of cloud services such as Google Apps for Education and Microsoft 365

12 LOOKING TO THE FUTURE  Students as partners in curriculum design and adoption of TEL provision (Wenstone, 2013; Jisc, 2014)  Embedding of mobile technologies in the curriculum (UCISA, 2014)  Increased flexible, online provision – taught postgraduate and CPD.  Transfer of MOOC inspired pedagogies filtering down to on-campus teaching (Yuan, Powell and Olivier, 2014) - e.g. techniques for supporting large cohorts.  Greater use of learning analytics
