student expectations
DESCRIPTION
Emiliy-Ann Nash explores through this presentation how students have differing expectations and motivations of higher education and how they may change in light of an increase in fees. She then explores how using technology effectively and purposely can enhance the student experience and encourage a positive effect on each students experience through their journey through higher education. Concluding with the NUS technology charter which students and their respective student unions will be pushing to make sure the technology agenda is high on the agenda and will hopefully ensure institutions do deliver, so that experiences of students from starting in their first year to entering into employment as graduates are equipped and ready for the 21st century environment.TRANSCRIPT

learning for all student groups.
Innovative use of digital technology should be supported by the curriculum design

Administration should be made more accessible through the use technology, including e-
submission, feedback and course management.
Institutions should understand and highlight the link between technology-enhanced learning and employability.
Using technology to enhance learning and teaching should be a priority when making
investment decisions.
Institutions should conduct wider research into student demand and perception of
