  6. Good use of technology comes from good teachers

  7. Learners don’t always know how to use technology to effectively support their learning “To begin with it was a bit daunting…. different from regular essays… but I found it really good.”

  8. Context is key “The seminars we did with [Lecturer A] were really good and helpful and they tried to make us comfortable with the technology we were using.”

  9. Social tools can help build group rapport “I ended up talking a lot more to people that I normally work with and they probably wouldn’t talk to you in class at all.”

  10. Use of technology can be more rewarding • but requires more work “[T]he easier option is to write an essay but you learn more from the group.”

  11. Lessons for the sector • Benchmarking must not be a box ticking exercise • Many small scale projects are better than one big one • Understanding the student experience is key • The student experience needs to feed back into curriculum design • The idea of Digital Natives is a myth • If you want to be excellent, you need to study excellence
