Learners want a sayStudents in our studies saw the digital experience as an opportunity to contribute and get involvedDigital engagement methods such as social media, padlets, twitter walls, vox pops etc are popular... and once established can be used for other issues tooDigital students are different it is important that the experience of different groups is represented
The 2014 UCISA Digital capabilities survey reports that 30% of respondents are working with students as change agents with another 46% of respondents working towards this Students can get involved in different ways e.g. advocate, researcher, representative, intern, change agent, project lead, buddy, mentor, designer...This is an issue which can help change relationships between staff and students

Benefits of working in partnershipGain an experience of leadership and influencing changeGain experience of using research to shape changeStudents can gain recognition through awards such as leadership awards, academic credit, extra-curricular awards and awards accredited through external bodiesIncreases confidence and skills (e.g. communication, team-working, management, research skills)Enhances networking with e.g. employers, communityImproved employability and job prospectsPartnership is fundamentally about a relationship in which all involved students, academics, professional services staff, senior managers, students unions and so on are actively engaged in and stand to gain from the process of learning and working together2/03/2016Working with students to make the most of digital
Benefits of working in partnership
Partnership is essentially a process of engagement, not a product. It is a way of doing things, rather than an outcome in itself.

The majority of teachers pay close attention to the diverse range of learners starting points and abilities in planning challenging activities, including very good use of information learning technology (ILT) that enables them to accelerate their learning. Most teachers make excellent use of ILT to support learning; learners frequent use of tablet computers enables them to access relevant course and research material and to work well independently.
In the beginning there was a project:

Supporting Staff Nishall Garala"Thank you for your lunch time support sessions. I particularly enjoyed Weebly session as I was then able to support my students creating their websites. I would have found this difficult to learn so quickly if I had to do this myself particularly as my learning style is auditory and therefore very helpful that you were talking to me telling me what to do as I did it rather than me have to read or watch to learn. Sue Wood Senior Tutor
