When designing learning in a digital environment, or supporting others in doing so, your journey has to start with a clear understanding of where you are now, and what you want to happen.
In order to justify any changes, or to build on current successes, you will need a reliable evidence base.
In this section, we help you consider:
- Who your learners are, what technology they currently use and for what purposes
- How you gather and utilise information generated by your students
- How well you enable their voice to be heard
- The digital capabilities of your students
- How well your quality processes are responding to learning and teaching in a digital age
