Are they….
The students’ perspective of the learning pathways through their modules?
1. be simple and intuitive to use and developed around the needs of students and staff
2. provide a personalised portal that will support a range of pedagogically sound learning and assessment opportunities
3. facilitate effective communication between staff and students; students and their peers; and students and their representatives
4. facilitate the provision of a consistent experience across a student’s modules
5. give students a clear sense of their learning pathways (within each module and across their modules)
6. enable students to enhance their learning pathways and create a record of their learning by annotating, adding to it and sharing it as they see fit
7. provide effective data analytic and module feedback mechanisms to facilitate module enhancement, student success and student satisfaction
8. seamlessly integrate third party services, giving staff and students greater choice in how to support and engage in learning

– Development begins of prototype Guided Learner Journey module
What has been happening up to now?
Anticipated benefits…
• For students
– Cross-programme view of assessment , learning activities and learning outcomes– Better guidance on expected learning activities– Different ways to visualise and access the module resources– The ability for students to comment on, and supplement, resources and learning activities– More consistent and more intuitive experience – Better search facilities – Potential for better understanding of programme looking forwards and looking back
• For staff
– Automatically generates a programme view of assessment – Shows a programme view of other learning activities (bottlenecks, resources issues) – Better sense of students (eg through level of student additions to resources - enhanced
data analytics will be part of the project)– An easier interface to create richer content
Guided Learner Journey
How might it work? The starting point is the module plan - eg
Guided Learner Journey
Demo
• ‘Generic’ Academic Skills Module
– Can your students participate in the module and provide feedback
• Mock Up an Existing StudyNet Module
– Provide further feedback / discussion– Availability of students to provide feedback compared to
existing module?
