Working in partnership with our learners

»Learners in our studies saw the digital experience as an opportunity to contribute and get involved

»Digital engagement methods such as social media, padlets, twitter walls, vox pops etc are popular...

»Digital learners are different – it is important that the experience of different groups is represented

»Learners can get involved in different ways e.g. champions, change agents, digital leaders, digital ambassadors, student fellows, student ambassadors, student partners, student researchers, co-designers, co-creators, co-developers

»This is an issue which can help change relationships between staff and students
