What happened with last year’s survey results? 

Over 500 colleagues and students responded to the survey and provided responses around the convenience of digital technologies in their work and accessing online platforms and services off campus.  

Professional Services colleagues generally felt that the use of digital technologies in their work was convenient and rated the quality of their digital working experience as good or above. While this year saw a lower response rate from staff involved in the delivery of teaching and learning, those responding mostly agreed that the University supports them to access online platforms and that their digital technologies are convenient.  

Find out what staff and students told us and how we’re supporting meaningful changes below: 

• Colleagues delivering teaching and learning 

• Professional Services colleagues  

• Students 

How did this compare to 2023/24? 

Overall, professional services responses showed that access off campus improved and confidence in data handling rose. Raising awareness around available support and recognition for digital skills development remains necessary. 

What’s next? 

Building digital capabilities 

• The Jisc Discovery tool helps you self-assess your confidence and experience of different digital skills and technologies. 

• LinkedIn Learning offers further development opportunities and provide recognition of digital and professional skills. 

• Microsoft 365 Workshops provide peer support to colleagues to enhance skills with many of the commonly used Microsoft apps. 

Further digital development support is available via Talent Development’s Digital Learning Hub  

Supporting teaching and learning 

• Our move to Canvas: To improve our digital learning environment, the University has transitioned from Blackboard Learn to Canvas earlier this September bringing a modern, futureproof Central Learning Environment. You can access our Canvas microsite for more information.  

• Support to embed digital capability in the curriculum is detailed in the Supporting students’ digital capability ITL resource and your local eLearning team can support further conversations. 

• Representation of supporting student digital capability is now included within Teaching and Scholarship promotion criteria.
