Over the past three years Coleg Cambria has

invested in developing a 21st Century learning environment. A campus wide wireless network is now installed across all six College sites, enabling learners to connect their own devices onto the Internet anywhere in College.

An extensive range of mobile devices (laptops,

chromebooks, tablet devices) were purchased to enable IT to be taken into classrooms rather than learners

using an IT classroom. The presentation provides case study examples on the use of mobile devices to support learning at Coleg Cambria.

Learner Experience at Coleg Cambria

In June 2013 Estyn awarded its first FE College ‘excellent’ for teaching and learning at Yale College, stating,

“Trainer-mentors and teaching staff use ILT highly effectively to enhance teaching, learning and assessment. In the best cases,

devices such as notepad computers and mobile phones are integrated into classroom and workshop activities. Teachers make

good use of applications which allow, for example, instant assessment and feedback, links to further information

resources using QR codes (Quick Recognition) and instant

video replay to give feedback on practical tasks.“

Collaborative Learning Using Google Communities



Learner Experience“Although face to face interaction is good, just being able to submit online and get feedback, especially the way the comments feature works, is much easier” Digital Graphics learner

“I can take ownership of my learning journey. I can add information regarding the course. This, we cannot do in Moodle very easily. It makes it easy for me to understand. Using Socrative and Google Drive helps me focus and progress” Engineering learner

“Video demonstrations are put on the Community which I can access on my phone during the session, we can access them straight away.” Floristry learner


Learner Experience“‘The iBook’s can be read and the videos watched in the evening right after a lesson, I’ve found it really helps me to remember what I have learnt. With the review questions at the end and the ability to double tap any word in the books and clarify the meaning it is so simple.’ Catering learner

‘It is great to have pictures, videos and lessons with more technology that’s here and now. Learnt lots more as more interesting.’ Construction learner
