Macherey lsquothe text says what it does not say in

must not be saidhellip
Policy discourse
David Blunkett and UK PLC (2000) the
lsquopowerhouse of the economyrsquo
George Osborne (2015) believes that tacit support by big
business for government policies
could be vital for election success
A Critical analysis of the Government e-learning strategy drew upon the work of Macherey (1990) and others to expose the continued silencing of the student as stakeholder where the voices that are not repressed are those with economic and institutional power
Our analysis showed the student is constructed as either silent or deficit and our conclusions suggest that rather than a discourse of transformation lsquoregulation not educationrsquo (Lillis 2001) is the real goal of the dominant educational stakeholders
Dropping inand Out
The question of how to integrate students into the world of higher education (or academe) has challenged universities since the initial expansion in numbers in the 1960s
A typical response was to make residential status a prerequisite of university attendance
The university management saw residence as a suitable strategy for assimilating undergraduates especially where the family background was not conducive to the habits and culture of study and further thought that residence constituted ldquoa part of the benefits of the University education whose value can scarcely be overstressedrdquo (Evans 2004 p14)
This is very different today because as market forces impact on all those at the margins are unable unwilling or even forbidden to study away from home
Attendance at their local university and remaining in the family home is the norm rather than a move to a campus
Students make the critical staygo decision in the first 6 7 weeks
the Student Belonging project
bull Student engagement effort and successIs influenced by many situational and contextual factors
bull Sense of belongingThe extent to which students feel personally accepted respected included and supported by others in the social environment (Goodenow 1993)

bull Within each ethnic group there are students who display possible settling down andor acceptance issues
bull Early engagement with university (induction attendance learning other activities) all appear to be correlated with higher SoB
Arriving meet three London University Students
Paola has no discussion of family in her narrative She feels she is at the wrong university and is unhappy with her choice She found it difficult to relate to the young people on her course I think it does make a difference being a mature studenthellip I have different goals in my life it does make a difference Instead she looks for friendship and support in the international student community from Spanish and Brazilian students whom she says are more like me
Her regrets extend into discussions about the physical environment which she finds old Like the building is very old the class is very old toilets very old
Paola - perception of a top Business School was that it would be located in the financial heart of the city where international financial institutions have their base She makes her decision in terms of the universityrsquos proximity in terms of her part-time work Interestingly she feels a closer sense of belonging when her modules are based at the city-centre site than when they are a short distance away in a more urban site of the same university
Kuura happy but underperforming
Kuura by way of contrast feels both a sense of belonging and is fully engaged with her course her University friends and is hugely proud of being at University down to wearing the University branded sweatshirt Her course narration is one where she is operating as part of the course and her University life tumbles out and mixes with her home life
She is very comfortable lsquowhere she is nowrsquo both physically at the University and also in her home environment
Kuura is seeks familiar spaces She explainsSo when I came here it was like I was taken back a bit what I thought
university was going to be like wasnrsquot really like it I thought shiny building really impressive but it wasnrsquot It was cosy really small everything was together And then [inaudible] was actually better because I thought if it was even too big you wouldnt really get to know anyone Because I went to XXX University for one of their open days and the place was huge and there were all these people going around and just like yoursquore in the middle just watching
Transitions different students difficult times
Isi despite a chaotic and confused life history has a lsquobigrsquo sense of life and expectations He has sought good mentoring support and guidance in terms of his university selection and future career He recognises the limitations of his patchy family support and is keen to draw a line under his council estate upbringing He rejects his background and sees it as a barrier to his future opportunities moving with what he sees as people who are high class and stuff like thathellip itrsquos going to be tough for me to fit inhellip
hellipHe is pained by his realisation that if he goes back to his community and his roots he will be unable to fulfil his ambitions for a ldquobig liferdquo
Isi locates himself firmly lsquoat Universityrsquo to the exclusion of his community he is happy with this demarcation in his journey to a City career In terms of lsquosense of belongingrsquo to their course programme of study he could be described as remote ndashlike islands not connected to anyone or anything and interestingly he is very engaged with his studies
Complexities in being and becoming
bull Negotiating the transitions between home and university For Isi and Kuura the themes emerging from the lsquolived lifersquo are diametrically opposed Isi rejects his home life and seeks to build his cultural capital
bull Kuura weaves together her university life and her home life and the result of this is more freedom but no change in her cultural capital
bull Paola is very aware of the cultural capital to be gained from the education and lsquothe cityrsquo but is unsure how to access it
bull We argue that there is a gap in the first year transition literature in that despite excellent induction activities etc this not does not fully acknowledge the connectedness of these students to their lived life and what this means for the transition to Higher Education
bull We suggest this has particular relevance for inner city universities
The gaps betweenhellip
Troublesome knowledge
Helping our students deal with lsquotroublesome knowledgersquo
inside the classroom
(Meyer and Land)
Or troublesome students
Think about a single pupil or studenthellip
Consider their life history background attitudes note key characteristics in a learning environment
And bridging the two
Technology Is ubiquitous (its everywhere)
For Pachler et al (20103) it is now accepted that mobile devices have a number of important characteristics which make them attractive from an educational perspective including increasing
portability functionality multimedia convergence ubiquity personal ownership social interactivity context sensitivity location awareness connectivity and personalisation
Technology is becoming embedded
and Wearablehellip
So for the outsiders looking in
new ways to motivate and engage them needed

And for us insiders looking out
bull We can think creativelybull Trust our studentsbull Remember technology is a tool and
can enhance excellent teaching and learning it can NEVER replace it
Youngsters are however being far
more productive with their phones than
parents think with 13 per cent of those
surveyed using their phone for schoolwork
The vast majority of Irish children believe they know more about the internet than their parents yet 43 per cent still donrsquot know how to use the ldquoreport abuserdquo safety button on social networking sites

So if we take a step back before University
What do students entering HE expect from digital technologies
The reality is that most studentsrsquo experiences of
digital technology in schools is rudimentary and tends
not to stray too far from traditional pedagogical
paradigms
In effect technology is simply a new channel for
delivery rather than an opportunity to engage
students in new ways
httpwwwjiscacukblogwhat-do-students-entering-he-expect-from-digital-technologies-01-sep-2014
The fact is that HE is different to school with hugely reduced face-to-face time
underpinned by more sophisticated independent learning
Itrsquos also likely that at least some of their course will be lsquomovingrsquo online including
formal contact with staff
If incoming studentsrsquo expectation is that digital in education contexts is only a one
way street for sharing content then they are going to struggle to engage in
discourse online
ldquo
Whilst most expressed an interest in using in using online technologies to support familiar school activities such as presentations or for communication learners seemed cautious about other activities associated with Web 20 tools such as the shared construction of knowledge in a public format
ldquo11- 16 years oldshellip have high levels of access to Web 20 technologieshellip
little evidence of ground breaking activities and only embryonic signs of criticality self management to metacognitive reflectionrdquo

Policy discourse
David Blunkett and UK PLC (2000) the
lsquopowerhouse of the economyrsquo
George Osborne (2015) believes that tacit support by big
business for government policies
could be vital for election success
A Critical analysis of the Government e-learning strategy drew upon the work of Macherey (1990) and others to expose the continued silencing of the student as stakeholder where the voices that are not repressed are those with economic and institutional power
Our analysis showed the student is constructed as either silent or deficit and our conclusions suggest that rather than a discourse of transformation lsquoregulation not educationrsquo (Lillis 2001) is the real goal of the dominant educational stakeholders
Dropping inand Out
The question of how to integrate students into the world of higher education (or academe) has challenged universities since the initial expansion in numbers in the 1960s
A typical response was to make residential status a prerequisite of university attendance
The university management saw residence as a suitable strategy for assimilating undergraduates especially where the family background was not conducive to the habits and culture of study and further thought that residence constituted ldquoa part of the benefits of the University education whose value can scarcely be overstressedrdquo (Evans 2004 p14)
This is very different today because as market forces impact on all those at the margins are unable unwilling or even forbidden to study away from home
Attendance at their local university and remaining in the family home is the norm rather than a move to a campus
Students make the critical staygo decision in the first 6 7 weeks

bull Around 10 to 15 of students in each School seem to find it difficult to settle in and feel accepted
Conclusions from quantitative work
bull On average all ethnic groups display a developed Sense of Belonging with the exception of the ldquoMixed Ethnic Grouprdquo
bull Within each ethnic group there are students who display possible settling down andor acceptance issues
bull Early engagement with university (induction attendance learning other activities) all appear to be correlated with higher SoB
Arriving meet three London University Students
Paola has no discussion of family in her narrative She feels she is at the wrong university and is unhappy with her choice She found it difficult to relate to the young people on her course I think it does make a difference being a mature studenthellip I have different goals in my life it does make a difference Instead she looks for friendship and support in the international student community from Spanish and Brazilian students whom she says are more like me
Her regrets extend into discussions about the physical environment which she finds old Like the building is very old the class is very old toilets very old
Paola - perception of a top Business School was that it would be located in the financial heart of the city where international financial institutions have their base She makes her decision in terms of the universityrsquos proximity in terms of her part-time work Interestingly she feels a closer sense of belonging when her modules are based at the city-centre site than when they are a short distance away in a more urban site of the same university
Kuura happy but underperforming
Kuura by way of contrast feels both a sense of belonging and is fully engaged with her course her University friends and is hugely proud of being at University down to wearing the University branded sweatshirt Her course narration is one where she is operating as part of the course and her University life tumbles out and mixes with her home life
She is very comfortable lsquowhere she is nowrsquo both physically at the University and also in her home environment
Kuura is seeks familiar spaces She explainsSo when I came here it was like I was taken back a bit what I thought
university was going to be like wasnrsquot really like it I thought shiny building really impressive but it wasnrsquot It was cosy really small everything was together And then [inaudible] was actually better because I thought if it was even too big you wouldnt really get to know anyone Because I went to XXX University for one of their open days and the place was huge and there were all these people going around and just like yoursquore in the middle just watching
Transitions different students difficult times
Isi despite a chaotic and confused life history has a lsquobigrsquo sense of life and expectations He has sought good mentoring support and guidance in terms of his university selection and future career He recognises the limitations of his patchy family support and is keen to draw a line under his council estate upbringing He rejects his background and sees it as a barrier to his future opportunities moving with what he sees as people who are high class and stuff like thathellip itrsquos going to be tough for me to fit inhellip
hellipHe is pained by his realisation that if he goes back to his community and his roots he will be unable to fulfil his ambitions for a ldquobig liferdquo
Isi locates himself firmly lsquoat Universityrsquo to the exclusion of his community he is happy with this demarcation in his journey to a City career In terms of lsquosense of belongingrsquo to their course programme of study he could be described as remote ndashlike islands not connected to anyone or anything and interestingly he is very engaged with his studies
Complexities in being and becoming
bull Negotiating the transitions between home and university For Isi and Kuura the themes emerging from the lsquolived lifersquo are diametrically opposed Isi rejects his home life and seeks to build his cultural capital
bull Kuura weaves together her university life and her home life and the result of this is more freedom but no change in her cultural capital
bull Paola is very aware of the cultural capital to be gained from the education and lsquothe cityrsquo but is unsure how to access it
bull We argue that there is a gap in the first year transition literature in that despite excellent induction activities etc this not does not fully acknowledge the connectedness of these students to their lived life and what this means for the transition to Higher Education
bull We suggest this has particular relevance for inner city universities
The gaps betweenhellip
Troublesome knowledge
Helping our students deal with lsquotroublesome knowledgersquo
inside the classroom
(Meyer and Land)
Or troublesome students
Think about a single pupil or studenthellip
Consider their life history background attitudes note key characteristics in a learning environment
And bridging the two
Technology Is ubiquitous (its everywhere)
For Pachler et al (20103) it is now accepted that mobile devices have a number of important characteristics which make them attractive from an educational perspective including increasing
portability functionality multimedia convergence ubiquity personal ownership social interactivity context sensitivity location awareness connectivity and personalisation
Technology is becoming embedded
and Wearablehellip
So for the outsiders looking in
new ways to motivate and engage them needed

bull We can think creativelybull Trust our studentsbull Remember technology is a tool and
can enhance excellent teaching and learning it can NEVER replace it
Youngsters are however being far
more productive with their phones than
parents think with 13 per cent of those
surveyed using their phone for schoolwork

So if we take a step back before University
What do students entering HE expect from digital technologies
The reality is that most studentsrsquo experiences of
digital technology in schools is rudimentary and tends
not to stray too far from traditional pedagogical
paradigms
In effect technology is simply a new channel for
delivery rather than an opportunity to engage
students in new ways
httpwwwjiscacukblogwhat-do-students-entering-he-expect-from-digital-technologies-01-sep-2014
The fact is that HE is different to school with hugely reduced face-to-face time
underpinned by more sophisticated independent learning
Itrsquos also likely that at least some of their course will be lsquomovingrsquo online including
formal contact with staff
If incoming studentsrsquo expectation is that digital in education contexts is only a one
way street for sharing content then they are going to struggle to engage in
discourse online
ldquo
Whilst most expressed an interest in using in using online technologies to support familiar school activities such as presentations or for communication learners seemed cautious about other activities associated with Web 20 tools such as the shared construction of knowledge in a public format
ldquo11- 16 years oldshellip have high levels of access to Web 20 technologieshellip
little evidence of ground breaking activities and only embryonic signs of criticality self management to metacognitive reflectionrdquo

Are we welcoming
technology into the classroom Or are we

Arriving meet three London University Students
Paola has no discussion of family in her narrative She feels she is at the wrong university and is unhappy with her choice She found it difficult to relate to the young people on her course I think it does make a difference being a mature studenthellip I have different goals in my life it does make a difference Instead she looks for friendship and support in the international student community from Spanish and Brazilian students whom she says are more like me
Her regrets extend into discussions about the physical environment which she finds old Like the building is very old the class is very old toilets very old
Paola - perception of a top Business School was that it would be located in the financial heart of the city where international financial institutions have their base She makes her decision in terms of the universityrsquos proximity in terms of her part-time work Interestingly she feels a closer sense of belonging when her modules are based at the city-centre site than when they are a short distance away in a more urban site of the same university
Kuura happy but underperforming
Kuura by way of contrast feels both a sense of belonging and is fully engaged with her course her University friends and is hugely proud of being at University down to wearing the University branded sweatshirt Her course narration is one where she is operating as part of the course and her University life tumbles out and mixes with her home life
She is very comfortable lsquowhere she is nowrsquo both physically at the University and also in her home environment
Kuura is seeks familiar spaces She explainsSo when I came here it was like I was taken back a bit what I thought
university was going to be like wasnrsquot really like it I thought shiny building really impressive but it wasnrsquot It was cosy really small everything was together And then [inaudible] was actually better because I thought if it was even too big you wouldnt really get to know anyone Because I went to XXX University for one of their open days and the place was huge and there were all these people going around and just like yoursquore in the middle just watching
Transitions different students difficult times
Isi despite a chaotic and confused life history has a lsquobigrsquo sense of life and expectations He has sought good mentoring support and guidance in terms of his university selection and future career He recognises the limitations of his patchy family support and is keen to draw a line under his council estate upbringing He rejects his background and sees it as a barrier to his future opportunities moving with what he sees as people who are high class and stuff like thathellip itrsquos going to be tough for me to fit inhellip
hellipHe is pained by his realisation that if he goes back to his community and his roots he will be unable to fulfil his ambitions for a ldquobig liferdquo
Isi locates himself firmly lsquoat Universityrsquo to the exclusion of his community he is happy with this demarcation in his journey to a City career In terms of lsquosense of belongingrsquo to their course programme of study he could be described as remote ndashlike islands not connected to anyone or anything and interestingly he is very engaged with his studies
Complexities in being and becoming
bull Negotiating the transitions between home and university For Isi and Kuura the themes emerging from the lsquolived lifersquo are diametrically opposed Isi rejects his home life and seeks to build his cultural capital
bull Kuura weaves together her university life and her home life and the result of this is more freedom but no change in her cultural capital
bull Paola is very aware of the cultural capital to be gained from the education and lsquothe cityrsquo but is unsure how to access it
bull We argue that there is a gap in the first year transition literature in that despite excellent induction activities etc this not does not fully acknowledge the connectedness of these students to their lived life and what this means for the transition to Higher Education

What do students entering HE expect from digital technologies
The reality is that most studentsrsquo experiences of
digital technology in schools is rudimentary and tends
not to stray too far from traditional pedagogical
paradigms
In effect technology is simply a new channel for
delivery rather than an opportunity to engage
students in new ways
httpwwwjiscacukblogwhat-do-students-entering-he-expect-from-digital-technologies-01-sep-2014
The fact is that HE is different to school with hugely reduced face-to-face time
underpinned by more sophisticated independent learning
Itrsquos also likely that at least some of their course will be lsquomovingrsquo online including
formal contact with staff
If incoming studentsrsquo expectation is that digital in education contexts is only a one
way street for sharing content then they are going to struggle to engage in
discourse online
ldquo
Whilst most expressed an interest in using in using online technologies to support familiar school activities such as presentations or for communication learners seemed cautious about other activities associated with Web 20 tools such as the shared construction of knowledge in a public format
ldquo11- 16 years oldshellip have high levels of access to Web 20 technologieshellip

George Osborne (2015) believes that tacit support by big
business for government policies
could be vital for election success
A Critical analysis of the Government e-learning strategy drew upon the work of Macherey (1990) and others to expose the continued silencing of the student as stakeholder where the voices that are not repressed are those with economic and institutional power
Our analysis showed the student is constructed as either silent or deficit and our conclusions suggest that rather than a discourse of transformation lsquoregulation not educationrsquo (Lillis 2001) is the real goal of the dominant educational stakeholders
Dropping inand Out
The question of how to integrate students into the world of higher education (or academe) has challenged universities since the initial expansion in numbers in the 1960s
A typical response was to make residential status a prerequisite of university attendance
The university management saw residence as a suitable strategy for assimilating undergraduates especially where the family background was not conducive to the habits and culture of study and further thought that residence constituted ldquoa part of the benefits of the University education whose value can scarcely be overstressedrdquo (Evans 2004 p14)
This is very different today because as market forces impact on all those at the margins are unable unwilling or even forbidden to study away from home
Attendance at their local university and remaining in the family home is the norm rather than a move to a campus
Students make the critical staygo decision in the first 6 7 weeks

Dropping inand Out
The question of how to integrate students into the world of higher education (or academe) has challenged universities since the initial expansion in numbers in the 1960s
A typical response was to make residential status a prerequisite of university attendance
The university management saw residence as a suitable strategy for assimilating undergraduates especially where the family background was not conducive to the habits and culture of study and further thought that residence constituted ldquoa part of the benefits of the University education whose value can scarcely be overstressedrdquo (Evans 2004 p14)
This is very different today because as market forces impact on all those at the margins are unable unwilling or even forbidden to study away from home
Attendance at their local university and remaining in the family home is the norm rather than a move to a campus
Students make the critical staygo decision in the first 6 7 weeks
the Student Belonging project
bull Student engagement effort and successIs influenced by many situational and contextual factors
bull Sense of belongingThe extent to which students feel personally accepted respected included and supported by others in the social environment (Goodenow 1993)
bull Previous work indicates that developing a sense of belonging is a key issue in successful transition
(Kember et al 2010 Hand and Bryson 2008)

bull Within each ethnic group there are students who display possible settling down andor acceptance issues
bull Early engagement with university (induction attendance learning other activities) all appear to be correlated with higher SoB
Arriving meet three London University Students
Paola has no discussion of family in her narrative She feels she is at the wrong university and is unhappy with her choice She found it difficult to relate to the young people on her course I think it does make a difference being a mature studenthellip I have different goals in my life it does make a difference Instead she looks for friendship and support in the international student community from Spanish and Brazilian students whom she says are more like me
Her regrets extend into discussions about the physical environment which she finds old Like the building is very old the class is very old toilets very old
Paola - perception of a top Business School was that it would be located in the financial heart of the city where international financial institutions have their base She makes her decision in terms of the universityrsquos proximity in terms of her part-time work Interestingly she feels a closer sense of belonging when her modules are based at the city-centre site than when they are a short distance away in a more urban site of the same university
Kuura happy but underperforming
Kuura by way of contrast feels both a sense of belonging and is fully engaged with her course her University friends and is hugely proud of being at University down to wearing the University branded sweatshirt Her course narration is one where she is operating as part of the course and her University life tumbles out and mixes with her home life
She is very comfortable lsquowhere she is nowrsquo both physically at the University and also in her home environment
Kuura is seeks familiar spaces She explainsSo when I came here it was like I was taken back a bit what I thought
university was going to be like wasnrsquot really like it I thought shiny building really impressive but it wasnrsquot It was cosy really small everything was together And then [inaudible] was actually better because I thought if it was even too big you wouldnt really get to know anyone Because I went to XXX University for one of their open days and the place was huge and there were all these people going around and just like yoursquore in the middle just watching
Transitions different students difficult times
Isi despite a chaotic and confused life history has a lsquobigrsquo sense of life and expectations He has sought good mentoring support and guidance in terms of his university selection and future career He recognises the limitations of his patchy family support and is keen to draw a line under his council estate upbringing He rejects his background and sees it as a barrier to his future opportunities moving with what he sees as people who are high class and stuff like thathellip itrsquos going to be tough for me to fit inhellip
hellipHe is pained by his realisation that if he goes back to his community and his roots he will be unable to fulfil his ambitions for a ldquobig liferdquo
Isi locates himself firmly lsquoat Universityrsquo to the exclusion of his community he is happy with this demarcation in his journey to a City career In terms of lsquosense of belongingrsquo to their course programme of study he could be described as remote ndashlike islands not connected to anyone or anything and interestingly he is very engaged with his studies
Complexities in being and becoming
bull Negotiating the transitions between home and university For Isi and Kuura the themes emerging from the lsquolived lifersquo are diametrically opposed Isi rejects his home life and seeks to build his cultural capital
bull Kuura weaves together her university life and her home life and the result of this is more freedom but no change in her cultural capital
bull Paola is very aware of the cultural capital to be gained from the education and lsquothe cityrsquo but is unsure how to access it
bull We argue that there is a gap in the first year transition literature in that despite excellent induction activities etc this not does not fully acknowledge the connectedness of these students to their lived life and what this means for the transition to Higher Education
bull We suggest this has particular relevance for inner city universities

bull Around 10 to 15 of students in each School seem to find it difficult to settle in and feel accepted
Conclusions from quantitative work
bull On average all ethnic groups display a developed Sense of Belonging with the exception of the ldquoMixed Ethnic Grouprdquo
bull Within each ethnic group there are students who display possible settling down andor acceptance issues
bull Early engagement with university (induction attendance learning other activities) all appear to be correlated with higher SoB
Arriving meet three London University Students
Paola has no discussion of family in her narrative She feels she is at the wrong university and is unhappy with her choice She found it difficult to relate to the young people on her course I think it does make a difference being a mature studenthellip I have different goals in my life it does make a difference Instead she looks for friendship and support in the international student community from Spanish and Brazilian students whom she says are more like me
Her regrets extend into discussions about the physical environment which she finds old Like the building is very old the class is very old toilets very old
Paola - perception of a top Business School was that it would be located in the financial heart of the city where international financial institutions have their base She makes her decision in terms of the universityrsquos proximity in terms of her part-time work Interestingly she feels a closer sense of belonging when her modules are based at the city-centre site than when they are a short distance away in a more urban site of the same university
Kuura happy but underperforming
Kuura by way of contrast feels both a sense of belonging and is fully engaged with her course her University friends and is hugely proud of being at University down to wearing the University branded sweatshirt Her course narration is one where she is operating as part of the course and her University life tumbles out and mixes with her home life
She is very comfortable lsquowhere she is nowrsquo both physically at the University and also in her home environment
Kuura is seeks familiar spaces She explainsSo when I came here it was like I was taken back a bit what I thought
university was going to be like wasnrsquot really like it I thought shiny building really impressive but it wasnrsquot It was cosy really small everything was together And then [inaudible] was actually better because I thought if it was even too big you wouldnt really get to know anyone Because I went to XXX University for one of their open days and the place was huge and there were all these people going around and just like yoursquore in the middle just watching
Transitions different students difficult times
Isi despite a chaotic and confused life history has a lsquobigrsquo sense of life and expectations He has sought good mentoring support and guidance in terms of his university selection and future career He recognises the limitations of his patchy family support and is keen to draw a line under his council estate upbringing He rejects his background and sees it as a barrier to his future opportunities moving with what he sees as people who are high class and stuff like thathellip itrsquos going to be tough for me to fit inhellip
hellipHe is pained by his realisation that if he goes back to his community and his roots he will be unable to fulfil his ambitions for a ldquobig liferdquo
Isi locates himself firmly lsquoat Universityrsquo to the exclusion of his community he is happy with this demarcation in his journey to a City career In terms of lsquosense of belongingrsquo to their course programme of study he could be described as remote ndashlike islands not connected to anyone or anything and interestingly he is very engaged with his studies
Complexities in being and becoming
bull Negotiating the transitions between home and university For Isi and Kuura the themes emerging from the lsquolived lifersquo are diametrically opposed Isi rejects his home life and seeks to build his cultural capital
bull Kuura weaves together her university life and her home life and the result of this is more freedom but no change in her cultural capital
bull Paola is very aware of the cultural capital to be gained from the education and lsquothe cityrsquo but is unsure how to access it
bull We argue that there is a gap in the first year transition literature in that despite excellent induction activities etc this not does not fully acknowledge the connectedness of these students to their lived life and what this means for the transition to Higher Education
bull We suggest this has particular relevance for inner city universities

What do students entering HE expect from digital technologies
The reality is that most studentsrsquo experiences of
digital technology in schools is rudimentary and tends
not to stray too far from traditional pedagogical
paradigms
In effect technology is simply a new channel for
delivery rather than an opportunity to engage
students in new ways

The fact is that HE is different to school with hugely reduced face-to-face time
underpinned by more sophisticated independent learning
Itrsquos also likely that at least some of their course will be lsquomovingrsquo online including
formal contact with staff
If incoming studentsrsquo expectation is that digital in education contexts is only a one
way street for sharing content then they are going to struggle to engage in
discourse online
