Sarah Knight, Jisc and Lis Parcell, Jisc RSC Wales Students and digital innovation: what can we learn from recent projects? 2/04/2014 Sarah Knight, Jisc and Lis Parcell, Jisc RSC Wales #digitalstudent Digital Student phase 1 study conducted a review into students’ expectations and experiences of the digital environment at university The study reviewed existing research and survey evidence from institutions, as well as conducting original interviews and focus groups Jisc and its co-design partners (UCISA, SCONUL, RLUK and RUGIT) are now supporting a consultation phase across the higher education sector which will inform the final guidance to institutions and further actions by Jisc and its partners A parallel study in FE and Skills with similar consultation events will shortly get underway Review of current practice in secondary schools is also underway Find out more at http://digitalstudent.jiscinvolve.org #digitalstudent An initial study reviewed existing evidence about students' expectations and experiences of study in a digital environment. This includes both: digital environment generally e.g. wifi, IT support, access to devices and printers the study environment in its digital aspects e.g. how digital resources and media are used; what software students access, how they use their own devices and services to support learning The study also looked at how universities collect, manage and analyse such information locally, and how they engage students in a productive dialogue about their digital experience.
