Join us in exploring innovative curriculum delivery methods through technology in education. This session, led by Andrew Comrie of the Joint Information Systems Committee, shares insights from 16 months of collaborative projects that piloted diverse delivery models and engaged learners through new technologies. From A-Level Media to undergraduate degrees in Pharmaceutical Sciences, we discuss outcomes, evaluations, challenges, and the future of flexible learning options. Discover how shared beliefs in technology can enhance student engagement and satisfaction while addressing common challenges in our institutions.

Introduction Andrew Comrie, Critical Friend Joint Information Systems Committee Supporting education and research
Overview • Projects have been running for approx. 16 Months • All in the final 7 months . The focus: • Piloting new curriculum delivery models with learners • Evaluating Pilots (includes feedback from learners) • Assessing Impact • Dissemination • Preparing final outputs
As a Cluster we cover.... • A wide range of course levels/subjects: • A-Level Media • New National Diplomas/Foundation Degrees: Business, ICT, Film and TV • Undergraduate Degree: Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Science and Geographical Information Systems • Different course delivery structures/models • Class based activities • Simulated /Real Work Environments • Remote Learning • Stand activities and conference workshops/symposium
Despite our Differences we have much in common... • A commitment to changing the way our programmes and courses are delivered • Similar Issues and challenges • Attendance • Achievement • Student Satisfaction • Offering more choice/flexibility • Improving Support • Improving Feedback
Despite our Differences we have much in common... • A shared belief that technology can help us to address our challenges and improve the way we deliver our programmes • That said, we have interest in a different range of technologies: • Open Source Tools (e.g. MOODLE, Mahara) • Web 2.0 Tools: WIKI, BLOGS • Mobile Technologies • Video streaming, virtual studio, video editing • Content Creation Tools: e.g XERTE
Working Together • Over the life of the project to date we have worked together to share ideas and approaches around: • How best to engage staff and learners in our projects • Ways to prepare learners for new learning and teaching methods • How to approach evaluation : especially in relation to capturing process and lessons learnt and engaging learners in the evaluation approach • Joint dissemination
Challenges and Activities for the next few months • Impact: Have the changes we have made impacted on the issues and challenges we wanted to resolve? • Sustainability: What do we need to have in place to sustain our work post-JISC funding? • Sustainability: How do we cascade our Models and get others to adopt and implement them? • Dissemination: How do we share our experiences with others in the Sector? • Outputs: Have we maximised all the deliverables from our projects and have we made them available to others via Design Studio?
