What is DIVERSE?Academic Research
• A cross-departmental study of the use of ‘resource clouds’ for subject research, peer-review and validation of materials.
• A 'learning analytics' project that will study students' use of web resources and provide real time data to Academic Tutors, Educational Developers and Subject Librarians.
• A Student as Producer project that aims to make students become collaborators in their course design.

What is DIVERSE?Student Focus
• DIVERSE– Development and Integration of Varying Educational Resources and Student Engagement.
• DIVERSE is a social collaboration based virtual learning tool.– Combines social networking aspects with research within education
• DIVERSE is all about getting students more involved with their studies.– Student as Producer vs Student as Consumer

Student as Producer
• Spear-headed by the University of Lincoln
• Shift in paradigm from consumer to producer
• About getting students actively involved in their studies
• Making student research more dominant in the role of teaching

The basis of DIVERSE
• DIVERSE is a tool for constructing resource clouds.– A collaborative store of resources and materials.
• DIVERSE allows students to share and interact with resources, collaborating together.
• DIVERSE aims to make the student experience more interactive.

Resource Cloud
• A resource cloud is created for each topic
• Students add new resources to this cloud– Those they feel are relevant to the ‘cloud topic’
• A link icon is automatically added depending on the resource type
• Icons are easier to interpret compared to a list of resources

Cloud Dynamics
The icons within a ‘Resource Cloud’ have several meanings:
• The image indicates the type of content by source• The size of the icon determines its subject specific ‘usefulness’
• As voted by the students themselves• Smallest – deemed least useful/relevant• Largest – deemed most useful/relevant

Towards 'Learning Analytics'
• DIVERSE not only provides a resource rich environment created by and for students.– Learning analytics can be harvested from DIVERSE
– Currently Tracked Stats (per cloud):– Number of users (over time)– Number of Resources (over time)– Individual Resource usage– Individual Resource ranking– Percentage of ‘type’ of resource
