The future UH Managed Learning Environment consultation

1. The future UH Managed Learning Environment consultation

2. Context • The background to the consultation • Consider the draft principles underpinning the next Managed Learning Environment (MLE) • Gather your views and ideas

3. Background • StudyNet is one of the most well used MLEs in the country – it supports much of our core Learning and Teaching activity • Student feedback is generally very good – though not universally so. This is partly dependent on how it is used • Other universities are also doing well nowadays – with pockets of functionality probably ahead of StudyNet • This review will help specify the next generation MLE to keep us at the forefront of the sector for the next 5-10 years

4. Development overview • The feedback from this workshop will be collated with feedback from other Schools and inform the next stage of the specification process. This will be shared for comment and further consultation • Following feedback, a pilot system will be developed, user tested and trialled by UH Online • A wider scale roll out will be informed by an evaluation of the UH Online pilot (wider roll-out anticipated in 2015/16)

6. The Key Strengths we want to continue…

7. StudyNet to Future OLE: Key aspirations Repository of materials Guided learner pathways Mass messaging Targeted timely messages Multi-way conversation and feedback One way (UH to student) Analytics & Use Data collection Prescribed services Student choice/ Bring your own.. Control of essential core only Overall control

8. Aspirations for the new OLE – it will…. • be simple and intuitive to use and developed around the needs of students and staff • provide a personalised portal that will support a range of pedagogically sound learning and assessment opportunities • facilitate effective communication between staff and students; students and their peers; and students and their representatives • facilitate the provision of a consistent experience across a student’s modules • give students a clear sense of their learning pathways (within each module and across their modules) • enable students to enhance their learning pathways and create a record of their learning by annotating, adding to it and sharing it as they see fit • provide effective data analytic and module feedback mechanisms to facilitate module enhancement, student success and student satisfaction • seamlessly integrate third party services, giving staff and students greater choice in how to support and engage in learning

16. Task One: • What would you like from the Future MLE?

17. The students’ perspective of the learning pathways through their modules? Are they….

18. Ways of helping students understand their module pathway - current examples… http://www.studynet.herts.ac.uk/crs/13/6COM0252-0901.nsf/Module+Information/80257BC20061C2308025764D00424506/$FILE/CSModuleGuide2013-14.pdf

19. And/or using StudyNet folders to guide students through their studies…

20. More generally, many learning activities involve a sequence, such as….

21. And modules usually consist of a series of learning activities eg…

22. Task two - we wish to understand the range of paths/structures the future OLE will need to support • Draw a diagram (or diagrams) to show the typical path(s)/structure(s) of your current modules? • Are there other paths/structures that you would like to see supported by the future MLE?
