Dear members,
I am pleased to announce the launch this week at the Higher
Education Academy Conference of Effective
Practice in a Digital Age – a guide to technology-enhanced
learning and teaching which provides the further and higher education sectors
with a welcome update to the popular 2004 JISC publication, Effective Practice with e-Learning.
Effective Practice in a Digital Age is
designed for those in further and higher education whose focus is on designing
and supporting learning: academic staff, lecturers, tutors and learning support
staff, facilitators, learning technologists and staff developers, and others
with an interest in enhancing the quality of learning and teaching, and a
curiosity about how technology can assist them.
The publication can be ordered in hard copy from http://survey.jisc.ac.uk/digitalage
or downloaded in PDF and accessible text-only formats from www.jisc.ac.uk/practice.
In addition, a number of supplementary resources are available online in the
Effective Practice Resource Exchange (www.jisc.ac.uk/resourceexchange)
which may be added to over time. These currently include themed video clips
covering topics such as Responding to learners and Rethinking learning
resources, a range of podcasts and audio resources, plus extended versions of
the case studies.
All resources associated with this publication can be
downloaded for use in educational contexts.
A UK-wide distribution of Effective
Practice in a Digital Age begins this week, targeting senior
managers with a responsibility for the curriculum and heads of e-learning and
staff development. I recommend this resource for your personal use and for
discussion with colleagues and curriculum team members.
Best regards,
Sarah
