BYOD! We don’t think so…… Stephen A Bowman Deputy Librarian University of Chichester
BYOD! We don’t think so…… • Brought about by sessions with the Students Union at University of Chichester, and University of Portsmouth • “In a fee-based environment, what will students be expecting from library and information services, learning spaces and learner support?”
BYOD! We don’t think so…… • University Perception • Since the BL/JISC report (Information Behaviour of the Researcher of the Future) move away from ‘Computer Labs’… • To ubiquitous Wi-fi… • Laptops in classrooms… • Apps for your mobile…
BYOD! We don’t think so…… • University Perception • The Google Generation are ‘format agnostic’ and have little interest in the ‘containers’ that provide the context and wrapping for information `nuggets’ • Google Generation are impatient and have zero tolerance for delay - information and entertainment needs must be fulfilled immediately • Google Generation have shifted decisively to digital forms of communication, preferring typing to handwriting, messaging to talking on the phone http://www.jisc.ac.uk/media/documents/programmes/reppres/ggworkpackageii.pdf
BYOD! We don’t think so…… • BYOD – Bring Your Own Device! • Seen as ‘the answer’ to technological change • Make your services and systems available across a range of platforms…
BYOD! We don’t think so…… • Moves towards an ‘Information Commons’ model • Away from a didactic form of instruction… • Towards a more collaborative paradigm…
BYOD! We don’t think so…… • Opening up a world of ‘Social Learning’, rather than sitting in IT Labs…. • Creating ‘Independent Learners’ • The information that you want, when you want it, on your own device! • How convenient!
BYOD! We don’t think so…… • Student Perception • New Fees Regime! • ‘We are paying you £8,500 a year…. • ….for our degree!’
BYOD! We don’t think so…… • It is now a ‘consumer relationship’, not a ‘partnership relationship’ • ‘Why are there not 200 copies of a book if there are 200 students on the course?’ • Need help to find materials – can waste time trying to find it themselves. • ‘We want people to talk to, rather than machines, we want info given to us’
BYOD! We don’t think so…… • We don’t want to read small screens…. • We don’t want to have to carry laptops around…. • We don’t want to have to look for stuff…. • What we want is…….
BYOD! We don’t think so…… • ‘…a first class library service’ • Individual support and guidance….. ‘Why don’t you just tell us what we need to know?’ • Free printing, and real books on the shelves • ‘I hate reading online’
BYOD! We don’t think so…… • Value For Money ‘We are paying you…’ • All course materials (stationery etc.) supplied for every student • ‘£25,500, I am giving you’
BYOD! We don’t think so…… • A desktop machine for every student, where they want it, when they want it… • Quiet zones for when we want to be quiet… • …and noisy areas for when we want to be noisy…
BYOD! We don’t think so…… • 24 hr opening ‘Everywhere else does it’ • Everything within 3 clicks • As many retakes as are needed to pass • Our degree (that we have paid for) at the end.
BYOD! We don’t think so…… • In a nutshell….. • No additional income for the uni, but vastly raised expectations from the students…
BYOD! We don’t think so…… • The new fees regime, with the student paying directly for their tuition is seen as….. • ‘a right to use whatever they want whenever they want it (at no extra cost)’ • Students will require everything to be provided for them because they have paid for it
BYOD! We don’t think so…… • In Conclusion….. • Students will want everything they have always wanted… BUT MORE!
