Overview
This workshop will explore learner views of technology enhanced learning based on the findings of The Learner Experience of E-Learning (LEX) study. LEX researchers spent a year listening to learners in HE, FE and ACL contexts with the aim of drawing out their opinions of learning with technology and examining their coping strategies.
Participants will have the opportunity to listen to learners’ voices, match learner profiles to attitudes and approaches, reflect on the main themes and discuss the wider implications.
Topics to be covered
Learner attitudes and feelings;
Learner behaviour and strategies;
Implications for teachers, support staff, managers and institutions;
Gathering meaningful learner feedback.
Expected Outcomes
By the end of this workshop participants will have gained a deeper insight into learner views and behaviours, and considered the wider implications for their own practice.
Who should attend?
Higher education, further education and adult and community learning practitioners; managers; heads of e-learning units and anyone interested in learners’ experience of e-learning.
