Jisc Digital Student Project» Phase 1 study reviewed students’ expectations and experiences
of the digital environment at university and we spoke to 500 staff and students during our consultation
» We conducted a review of practice in schools to identify likely incoming expectations
» In phase 2 we focused on FE with plans to extend the project to wider skills sector
» Support from AoC, NUS, 157 Group and NIACE

7 Key themes
24/04/2015 Jisc Digital Festival, 9-10 March 2015, ICC Birmingham 6
Don’t assume we are digitally literateWe need ongoing
development
We expect the same (or better) services as in
school…
We expect college to provide what we need…
We expect modern learning resources that are easy to
find and use
We want to work with lecturers…
Ask us what we need…
Recommendations
The project is producing recommendations for:
» Colleges: How can colleges undertake evaluations of learners’ use of technology? How can colleges engage learners in the process? What support is needed nationally?
» Jisc: How can Jisc support FE managers to develop strategies and practice in order to manage and meet learners’ expectations of the digital?
» Funders and partners: What further research is needed to investigate learner expectations and experiences?
