Learning and teaching reimagined

This is a report (42 page PDF) from Jisc that concludes, "The findings clearly show an expansion of online learning and that blended learning across different modes – in-person, online, on campus, at home and at work – is the preferred model for university students, staff and leaders." In particular, I would note that "Students prefer blended learning that incorporates extensive online components alongside in-person learning because it's more convenient, saves time and makes it easier to access course material." Once again, it would be useful if a survey like this sampled non-students as well as students to better understand their preferences. This would probably tilt the scale more toward digital. The recommendations for 2021 and beyond are not surprising: "embed digital at the heart of university culture," look at economic models for scaling online learning, expand digital skills, and address digital inequality.
