Abstract

Amanda Taylor-Beswick, Director, Centre for Digital Transformation, University of Cumbria, UK, spoke at this Times Higher Education, in partnership with Perlego, webinar as part of a panel of experts discussing how institutions can choose the right technological tools to design dynamic and effective learning experiences for students and explore strategies for measuring the success of their digital initiatives.

Other speakers at the webinar included Luke Pennington, Regional sales lead, Perlego; Graham Bell, Director of digital education, Cranfield School of Management; Raheel Nawaz, Pro vice-chancellor for digital transformation, Staffordshire University.

Budget constraints and the current financial climate in UK higher education pose significant hurdles for universities aiming to innovate their learning processes. Introducing new technological tools to shape student learning and engagement is an important aspect of driving digital transformation forward. To achieve this, institutions must stay at the forefront of technological advances and proactively leverage resources that can enhance the student experience.

Topics for discussion:
• Strategies for maintaining innovation and the quality of student experience amid budget cuts and the challenging financial landscape in UK higher education
• The role of continuous technological innovation in improving student experience and satisfaction
• Important factors to consider when choosing and piloting new technology to optimise learning and how to evaluate their success
• Deciding the metrics for evaluating the effectiveness of new technological tools and features
• The importance of including student voices when designing digital learning experiences.
