Digital diversity

Aims of the DD-lab research Funded by U of Bristol WP Research Programme How might (or might not) digital technologies support studying (esp informal), peer support and sense of belonging amongst WP students What are the effects on their progress, retention and well being? Broad interpretation of widening participation – Parents did not go to university – Attended non fee paying school – Intersections with - mature, BME, local

Research questions To what extent is a ‘culture of belonging’ and engagement experienced by WP students? What are the impacts of informal support and peer relationships on WP students in their learning lives? How are digital technologies being mobilised by WP students for educational, cultural and social purposes? What new forms of learning interactions are created?

Social justice goes beyond social inclusion – both participation and engagement (Gidley et al, 2010) Institutions can make assumptions about prior experience and cultural capital (Thomas, 2002) Social justice goes beyond social inclusion – both participation and engagement (Gidley et al, 2010) Institutions can make assumptions about prior experience and cultural capital (Thomas, 2002) Inequalities in student experience

Students need to integrate into culture and practices of university life to sustain their engagement and confidence and be successful A ‘culture of belonging’ is critical to the success and well-being of students at university (Thomas 2012) Students need to integrate into culture and practices of university life to sustain their engagement and confidence and be successful A ‘culture of belonging’ is critical to the success and well-being of students at university (Thomas 2012) ‘Access without support is not opportunity’ (Tinto 2008)

DD-Lab Project Sue Arnold Co-researcher

Culture of Belonging I do not work very much with other students.....I live 30 miles from Bristol It mitigates against that sense of belonging It is difficult balancing study and family life

Informal Support and Peer Relationships I don’t work in complete isolation from other students I have a couple of friends who are traditional students No problems with working in small groups

Using Digital Technologies I was a Computer Programmer in the 1970s! Not so good at using screen for reading long articles but used iPad to do this and was quite surprised at ease of use Using e-books – not very successful for me! But I have moved on since DD-Lab – attached to my iPhone and Apps for everything!

New Forms of Learning Interactions Moved on since DD Lab (because of DD Lab?) Was using Facebook, but now expanded to WhatsApp, bus apps, reminder app etc.... Have even used Twitter! More linked in to social media than previously
