Helping Higher Education Institutions use Online Technology More Effectively

Twenty three universities including the University of Exeter, the University of Roehampton, the University of Hull and the University of West London will be the first in the country to benefit from a new learning programme. This has been developed to help Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) use online technology more effectively.
Effectively

The programme, Changing the Learning Landscape (CLL), is funded by Hefce and supported by stakeholders including the Leadership Foundation for Higher Education, Jisc, the Higher Education Academy, the NUS and the Association for Learning Technology. It will feature three separate strands of activity aimed at different HEI staff, the first of which is an intensive leadership development programme, aimed at Pro Vice-Chancellors and Directors of Learning & Teaching.

Attendees will be equipped with the knowledge and understanding to implement and embed changes in the application of online technology in their organisations. Institutions participating in CLL hope that the programme will assist them in embedding good practice amongst staff and enhancing the student experience. 

Strands two and three of the CLL programme will involve free expert consultancy advice to assist in or develop changes in the way institutions use online technology, and a series of Continuing Professional Development opportunities and events. 

The Institutions will each benefit from up to eight days of funded consultancy support and expertise on the strategic use of new technology in the learning environment; key areas of focus include ensuring technology matches learning and teaching styles and developing the digital capabilities of both staff and students, ultimately improving the student experience.
