Aimed at those in further and higher education who design and support learning, the guide draws on recent JISC reports and case studies to investigate how the emergence of new and more powerful technologies together with an increase in personal ownership of these technologies are changing the way we connect, communicate and collaborate, and how these changes can benefit learning. The focus of this guide is on emerging practice rather than emerging technology.
The case studies describe a series of exploratory journeys through the themes of:
- Working in partnership with students
- Developing students’ employability potential
- Preparing for the future
Another website has supplementary resources at www.jisc.ac.uk/emergeresource provide readers with opportunities to explore in greater depth how institutions are using emerging technologies to enhance learning, including videos and podcasts.
