Our students will be equipped to live, thrive, learn, work, collaborate, influence and lead in the increasingly digital and connected world
Part of Educational Strategy?

We need to develop digital literacies
We must provide learning experiences that encourage DLs
We need a real word learning environment (including own devices)
We must ensure our strategies and policies support the above

Digital Literacies are the skills needed to live, learn, work, collaborate, influence and lead in the virtual and digital world
We are preparing students for jobs that don’t yet exist, using work-practices we don’t yet know supported by tools not yet invented.

VLEs embody outdated views of teaching as “push”
put the teacher at the centre rather than the student or the network
do not integrate with the tools and environments students or lecturers use.
are fundamentally closed - they do not have any understanding of networked learning
lock you in
don’t encourage learners to take responsibility for their own learning, tools or digital literacy
What’s Wrong with VLEs?

Learning has not changed
but expectations of how its done may have
Recent research shows that although students may not be scared of technology and may live in Facebook, they have increasingly naïve understandings of finding and evaluating information
White and Le Cornu suggest a better distinction might be Digital Visitors and Residents
An aside on “Digital Natives” argument

An Aside on the Mobile Issue
Mobile devices work all day on one battery charge
Issues?
17
CENTRE FOR INNOVATIONIN TECHNOLOGIES & EDUCATION
@HughDavis#HEA_BYOD
Most of the time people only want access to the internet (including University intranet sites)
When accessing university systems we need a password challenge (and single sign on)
We already have perfectly good policies for • Acceptable Use• Virus Protection• Password Protection of devices
The problem is they are not enforceable
It’s a social thing!
Policy and Security

@HughDavis#HEA_BYOD
Some of the Issues a University must decide
19
How we will support those devices?
What devices we will support?
Who will pay for software / apps required?
If the University supplies hardware, who own it? (whose AppleId etc?)
Which devices can access University systems (as opposed to internet/intranet)?
There will certainly be more discussion about this today.
Plenty of potential to alienate your users!

Ensure curriculum has real world problems that need real world technology
• Group projects with remote collaborations• Solving authentic problems with authentic data• Digital ethnography• Creating stuff, creating ontology• Simulations
