Seven key themes emerged


» Leaders recognise the importance of TEL, but there is a lot of variation in institutions around how learning and teaching strategies relate to technology and what statements such as “excellent learning experience” mean to lecturers at the chalkface

» There is recognition of the rapidly changing nature of technology, for example the rise of mobile

» “Consistency” was not mentioned in rhetoric by leaders

Strategic importance of Technology Enhanced Learning


» An over-riding complaint from students is about inconsistencies in staff use of TEL and staff digital literacy practices. However, there is no evidence that what “consistency” means in practice has been fully explored – care needs to be taken when defining consistency

» Students like mobile access

» Students like to see the benefits of technology, i.e. not being used for the sake of it

» All students emphasised that they like face to face contact

Students


» Inconsistent staff practices and skills. Inconsistent staff approaches to programme design and delivery (including inconsistency between modules) can lead to both raised student expectations and complaints about inconsistent practices

» Most cited barriers for staff not using TEL include workload, capabilities and confidence

» It is mostly unclear how digital literacies fit into programmes

Programme design and delivery


» Staff often have difficulty understanding and making meaning of top-level strategiese.g. “excellent teaching”, “outstanding graduates”

› These need to be “translated” into more meaningful statements

» Recognise the need for professional help in bringing about change

» Staff and students need more powerful and persuasive arguments for the benefits of TEL/digital literacies
