About Us
The Hull College Group e-Learning Strategy underpins the college’s Teaching, Learning and Assessment and Quality Improvement Strategy, which states “The Group seeks to provide enthusiastic, well-qualified and well-supported staff, confident in the uses of new technologies” and to “give every student … the necessary transferable skills, including … digital literacy skills that will be needed by a 21st century workforce.” Among Hull College Group’s strategic objectives are “to provide an excellent personalised learning experience’” and “to provide a high quality inspiring and sustainable learning environment”. The e-Learning strategy recognises that this is best achieved by taking a ‘technology-enhanced learning’ approach encouraging staff to use a variety of blended and flipped learning with the majority of courses and where distance learning takes place, ensuring learning occurs within a social context where interaction between lecturers and students and students and their peers plays a key role.
“The Group seeks to … give every student … the necessary transferable skills, including … digital literacy skills that will be needed by a 21st century workforce.”
The emphasis remains on the quality of the teaching and supporting the lecturers’ knowledge and freedom to select and use appropriate systems and resources rather than prescribing a particular pedagogy, technology or learning systems. This will be achieved whilst ensuring delivery is efficient as well as effective; maximising the use of resources and further improving value for money. Our aim is to develop a culture where ‘e-Learning’ is not considered as a separate priority but where the technology seamlessly supports the ability of the tutor to select the most effective tool or resource for delivery and allows the student to access a wide range of resources to support their learning at any time, on any device and in any place.
