Developing Student-Staff Partnerships to Enhance Digital Capabilities

Published on Apr 15, 2017

Presentation delivered at FELTAG 2017: Embracing Digital Technology in Further Education on 21 September 2017 - London, UK.

The presentation looks at developing Students-Staff partnerships to drive digital capability forward in a Further Education environment - Using Epping Forest College case study.

  • Introducing the Digital Voice Xperts (DVX) scheme where learners share their knowledge to improve the digital capabilities of their peers and teachers.
  • Fostering student-staff relations whilst sharing learner expertise to create reusable presentations, web pages and videos to show how important it is to use online tools creatively, effectively and safely.
  • Creating pathways for learners to gain work experience and employability skills while staff benefit from the enthusiasm and skills only students can bring to an initiative.
  • Championing the case for the pedagogic value of digital technologies in teaching and learning by making the dissemination of advice, training and support part of the process of preparing learners for the DVX role.
