Grants or three month secondment opportunities at the Futures Observatory are offered. Grant funding of up to $10,000 is available to enable a pilot project and up to $5,000 for a secondment. The Futures Observatory is raising the profile of more radical thinking about education at UWA through intelligence gathering, cross-disciplinary and role collaboration, the injection of deliberation through activities with external partners, and small-scale scholarship funding opportunities. There is a focus on stimulating, fun and interesting 'futures-first thinking' events; partnerships with selected technology and industry organisations to promote windows on possible education futures for higher education and students' learning; allows the ability for academics, teaching staff and postgraduate students to be exposed to, to try out and to consider the newer devices and technologies for use in their practice; and provides opportunities for researchers to share new ideas, develop scholarship and research with others around more radical education innovation. Alerts, reports and future-oriented 'White Papers' to promote discussions, explorations and experiments are also sourced for the UWA community. 22/08/2016 CEF- 500 days and where in 2017?

Impact of the new LMS – contracted December 2014 to July 2016 The first 500 days 2014 2016 ‘Open Source’ Moodle Fully hosted, ‘state of art’  Blackboard Learn, included data and disaster recovery and security, with viable long term partnership contract Student engagement figures There has been an increase in around 10% per month since Blackboard transition was completed 6 months ago. Currently 17,000 to 22,000 unique users per day – i.e. almost all of our students…we are expecting this will soon be 100% - probably this semester. Many log in and out several times a day. Staff engagement figures In S2 2014 < 60% of staff had no digital engagement By S2 2016 (July) only around 15% of staff have no digital presence in their units. This will be 0% by the end of 2017 with the digital first policy implemented on Assessment and Feedback Futures. Over 3 years (2011-4) almost no progress on digitalising learning at UWA  nor impact on student and staff engagement See BEAM and SUNSPOT data for student impact. Highly targeted high quality learning focus deploying mobile and blended learning. All additional functions in Moodle incurred additional costs and lack of integrative capacity. No opportunity for growth nor functions. Additional costs for student surveys,  Complete suite includes digital assessment, feedback marks and grades, e-portfolios, Learning Analytics, all students surveys (SPOT & SURF). content management; provision outside regular units-( e.g. social Blackboard for the Guild, visitors, professional development, research students, compliance training,  mobile LMS apps now deployed by more than half of UWA students daily.   Limited development capability, lack of opportunity and integration. ‘Building blocks’ provide ease of use for students and staff including Lecture Capture, Academic integrity platforms (Turnitin and Safe Assign). Dependent on external consultants and internal contract staff Fully integrated and developed within the Centre for Education Futures.  UWA now two years’ ahead’ of the ‘road map’ originally planned in 2014 for the LMS, and many additional aims and cost savings proved possible. Very rapid developments of functions, transitions, engagement ROI- v low ,frequent  costs recurring, large internal staffing load Additional costs around direct $1M per year, plus 11 additional internal staff members. ROI – high & known planned updatable contract over 5 years with transparent KRAs and constant monitoring 2016 cost $ 800K Savings of around 550K ongoing on a wide variety of other platforms.

BEAM 1-S1 2016 - The Study and Data Set Student engagement in digital learning can be used as proxy for learning. BEAM data sets form part of the Zenith (Learning Analytics) project about to commence in 2017. BEAM analysed actual usage of S 1 engagement in the LMS, measured by login duration expressed as mean number of minutes per week per unique user. BEAM included all units over an 8 week period (29th February 2016 to 3rd May 2016) in S1 with > 10 students enrolled. 702 study units were in the data set. > half of UWA students accessed the LMS through mobile devices. 22/08/2016 CEF- 500 days and where in 2017?

BEAM 1-S1 2016 - University Wide Observations: (University Wide) The mean login duration for this group of units (n=702) is around 60 minutes per week per student per unit. Most students study 4 units at a time – an “average” student was logged into the LMS for about 4 hours per week. Units that were redesigned through Carpe Diem process had a mean login time per student per unit that was twice that of the overall university mean login time. All Faculties have some units with mean times of at least one hour per week per student per unit. Most faculties have some units with mean login times >90 minutes per week per student . 47 units across all Faculties had no digital engagement (ie no login time registered). 22/08/2016 CEF- 500 days and where in 2017?
