Activating Digital Learning

Digital learning is an important way for students to learn alongside in-person sessions, but students can be reluctant to participate in digital learning environments when they are undertaking broadly residential/in-person courses. Asynchronous learning can be key to inclusive, flexible, accessible teaching, supporting peer to peer interactions and reinforcing learning. To explore student engagement in digital learning this case study presents the development of an online pre-sessional module in a media school that introduces students to digital learning tools and concepts of blended learning, supporting student reflection on their personal approaches to learning; this study serves as a starting point for a wider discussion reviewing blended learning.
