Digital Strategy The Strategy outlined in this document sets out a vision for digital learning, teaching and working at Salford City College, together with seven strategic aims that are translated into a series of objectives, followed by an implementation plan.

The Strategy sets out the context and rationale for a digital transformation, and explores the environmental drivers.

Advancement in learning technologies have had a significant impact on the learning experience across all tiers of the education sector. Educators are far more empowered with the tools that have the ability to transform the traditional classroom experience to a more interactive, creative and constructive learning environment. Educators routinely use blended learning during classroom activities and often extend and reinforce learning beyond the classroom.

For those at the early stages of the journey, adopting a holistic approach with strong collaboration between service areas and curriculum will help establish the foundations for a successful strategy.

The proliferation of EdTech (education technology) places an increasing focus on pedagogical and technical evaluations of both hardware and software to meet curriculum aspirations for digital learning.

The traditional approach to planning IT

Since the publication of the FELTAG recommendations, more colleges are embracing the digital revolution to enrich their pedagogy. Some of these are at the cutting edge having achieved a fully blended curriculum with up to 20% of programmes delivered through directed/independent learning. | Salford City College DIGITAL STRATEGY

investments on a “tell us what you want and we’ll tell you if you can have it” basis, is unsustainable. A more strategic approach is required that places greater emphasis on the longterm investment in infrastructure and a thorough understanding of the learning technologies that have the potential to impact curriculum design, delivery and outcomes.

In addition, there are a number of environmental factors driving change within the FE sector that have forced colleges to develop more efficient and economic means of delivery and integrate technologies into the learning environment, such as virtual IT systems that help reduce operating and replacement costs. The determined effort by Ministers to reduce public spending is expected to continue but

with slightly less rigour, during the current spending period.

However, the financial health of the sector remains in decline, with over 70 colleges reporting inadequate financial health by the end of 2015. It is this trend that strengthens the argument for a more technology driven curriculum, as one means of containing cost. It is also this trend that is driving the Government’s plans to create fewer, larger, more resilient and efficient providers, by launching the Area Based Review (ABR) initiative. If as a result of mergers or group structures, fewer colleges operate across larger areas, then digital technology will play a bigger role e.g. with a virtual presence and on-line learning. The impact of the ABR could be further compounded with devolution, as LEPs battle with the dichotomy of localism versus sub-regional efficiencies.

The likely prioritisation of a skills based system based on employer demand will create pressures for a more flexible curriculum, where employers expect learning to take place on their terms - in multiple environments with flexible modes of delivery. In addition, most LEPs managing devolved budgets will expect similar outcomes that are driving the ABRs such as: mergers, reduced duplication, larger institutes and more specialist centres aligned to their industry sectors. Despite presenting some challenges with travel to learn (access), distance will become a barrier to participation for disadvantaged groups, and an area with fewer physical institutes will be more reliant on technology to fill the gaps.

The dramatic expansion of MOOCs (Massive Open Online

Courses) is a good illustration of how technology is plugging a gap in the adult market and 2015 marked a turning point, with more on-line courses being offered than in the previous three years combined - over 35 million people signed up for least one course. The UK-based FutureLearn grew by 275% in 2015, with an estimated three million enrolments; it is now the third-ranked provider internationally. The increasing sophistication of the MOOC market, with its global reach has seen many leading providers partner with leading universities to broaden their offer e.g. iMBA programmes are offered at a fraction of the cost of studying on campus.

This market is forecast to grow at an exponential rate and will continue to shape how learning is delivered and received over the next decade. It will

inevitability, influence education at all levels and colleges are not immune to these seismic shifts; physical learning environments of the future could be confined to developing hand skills.

There are other realities that FE needs to respond to in shaping the employability of its learners.

The basic skills-set employers require encompasses digital literacy as a basic necessity, along with maths and English.

The proliferation of everyday products that communicate with other devices (The Internet of Things), has given rise to some sectors reporting skills shortages for specialist digital & IT skills. The digital and creative sector was the fastest growing sector in Greater Manchester (GM) between 2010 and 2013. It added 12.6% more jobs, or the equivalent of approximately four percentage points per year and

Salford City College

DIGITAL STRATEGY | 5

Vision... future job growth is projected to continue in key digital occupations across GM, with some occupations experiencing a 4% growth year-on-year.

The Manchester Digital Survey identified the three hardest to fill roles were developers (48%), designers (29%) and sales/ business development (38.5%).

Whilst this is good news for new entrants leaving college or university, it does place an important responsibility on education providers to adapt their strategies and redesign the curriculum offer to feed the employment pipeline; equipping learners with digital employability skills will help ease the transition, from learning to work.

Over the past six years, the further education (FE) sector has been in a state of flux with significant changes to the funding formula, the introduction of the study programme, compulsory changes to English and maths, and more recently, the introduction of the Area Based Reviews and increased local competition with UTCs, Academy Trusts and Free Schools. Despite the market turbulence, Salford City College remains in a strong position, with some of the highest success rates across Greater Manchester (GM), a ‘Good’ financial health rating coupled with a recent ‘Good’ Ofsted rating. Leadership and management - across all tiers, starting with the Governors – can be credited with positioning the College as 6

| Salford City College

one of the sub-regions leading providers.

However, the uncertainty created by the macro-environment together with the reductions in funding presents a compelling case for colleges to do more for less and develop more efficient operating models, whilst preserving their strengths, protecting success rates and meeting the learners needs.

Many colleges have sustained themselves by adapting their strategies and embracing new approaches to delivering their core business. Reducing the cost of delivery is a major consideration for all colleges and most strategic KPIs can be traced back to efficiency drivers, such as staff and room utilisation and making more effective use of the study programme.

The rapid advancement of learning technologies has been timely and provided colleges with additional tools to deliver learning outside the classroom to help achieve some of these efficiencies. Those that have been successful have reduced contact time and developed a fully blended curriculum with up to 20% delivered through selfstudy.

Salford City College has yet to realise these benefits and is behind the curve and eLearning is an area relatively underdeveloped, although this is not uncommon across the sector. The requirement for directed study - via the

DIGITAL STRATEGY

Study Programme - has been voluntary and not systematic.

Similarly, only a small handful of curriculum can claim to deliver a fully blended offer, but despite the disparity, the majority of curriculum make some regular use of information learning technologies in everyday teaching e.g. the use of Moodle as a repository and instructional videos etc. A few, through their own creative endeavours, demonstrate exceptional use of digital technologies, making full use of Moodle and other social media platforms. ELearning has not previously featured as a strategic priority, which is the primary reason for the lack of take-up; this coupled with an underinvestment in technology, innovation and resources; limited capacity and capability; and a lack of synergy from key departments are all contributing factors.

This strategy aims to redress this situation by building an aspirational vision for a digitally enhanced pedagogy that is at the core of our Teaching & Learning Strategy. It aims to enrich the learning experience through the provision of a high performing physical and virtual infrastructure that supports a diverse range of learning technologies, delivered by a digitally literate curriculum that has the capability to deliver learning in place and time that suits the learner, with a device of their choice.

To be recognised as an innovative 21st century college with a first class Digital Curriculum; supported by a first class Digital & IT service. This service will provide the infrastructure, resources and skills that not only support core business, but also create outstanding teaching, learning and assessment opportunities that enhance the digital literacy of our learners and staff so they thrive in academic, economic and social environments.

To create and nurture a culture of high expectation, high quality and high efficiency to ensure that: • Digital technologies are seamlessly integrated at every stage of the learner journey • IT systems are robust, agile and fit for purpose • We deliver the highest quality digital resources and support to our stakeholders • W e continually adapt to the changing educational and technological landscapes • Supports
