This year, 19,137 learners from 36 further education (FE) and sixth form colleges took part in our learner digital experience insights survey. The survey was conducted between October 2019 and May 2020.

FE digital experience insights survey 2020 report cover

The high level of satisfaction from learners in terms of the quality of organisational provision and use of technology in teaching and learning is encouraging, but there are also some major concerns about digital and data poverty and whether learners have adequate access to devices, wifi and other essential systems and services.

The rapid move to remote learning has amplified the need for pedagogical learner-centred approaches and a fresh look at learning design.

The FE and skills sectors are acknowledged as supportive but there are questions about how visible and accessible this support is. The survey findings show that more needs to be done to develop learners’ digital skills and confidence throughout their learning journey.

This report shares key findings from the survey combined with guidance on how colleges can address issues raised.
