Julie Voce
Julie is the Head of Educational Technology based in Learning Enhancement and Development at City, University of London. She is currently responsible for overseeing key institutional projects in the areas of Learning Spaces, Lecture Capture and Learning Analytics.She has been working in the field of Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) since 2000, having previously held positions at Imperial College London (E-learning Services Manager), UCL (Learning Technologies Support Co-ordinator) and UMIST (Research Assistant). She has expertise in project management of institutional change projects and evaluation of TEL.Since 2005, she has been involved at a national level with both the Association for Learning Technology (ALT) and the Universities and Colleges Information Systems Association (UCISA). For ALT she has held several positions including Deputy Editor for ALT Newsletter, Co-ordinator of the M25-Learning Technology group, Co-Chair for ALT-C 2012 and Member of the Publications and Membership Development Committees. With UCISA she is member (and former Chair) of the UCISA Digital Education Group and was involved in the last four UCISA Surveys on the use of Technology Enhanced Learning within UK Higher Education. Through her involvement in both associations, Julie has developed expertise in organising events and writing case studies and reports.In addition to her role at City, she is also a PhD Student at Lancaster University researching institutional support for TEL within UK Higher Education. She has published work relating to the UCISA TEL survey and a review of institutional assessment policies.

The 2014 Survey incorporated the core set of questions from the previous surveys, thereby enabling a sector-wide longitudinal analysis of e-learning developments, with special reference to institutional strategies and implementation plans encouraging the mainstreaming of learning technologies in support of learning and teaching activities. An expanded set of questions in this year’s Survey focused on mobile services, exploring the degree to which these technologies are supporting more flexible opportunities for learning, as well as new modes of institutional collaboration in the delivery of these services. New questions were also included to identify discontinued TEL services that have not stood the test of time, and those services reported to be attracting increasing investment – such as the delivery of open learning provision to external audiences, which have attracted so much attention by the government and the press over the past two years.
The presentation will summarise the key findings from the 2014 Survey and through reference to previous surveys will provide some insights into how the UK HE sector is adapting to the challenges of reduced government funding and greater student choice in the deregulated HE market through the development of new TEL services and reorganisation of existing support structures. The session would be relevant to anyone with an interest in researching technology enhanced learning trends across the HE sector and would be directly relevant to e-learning managers and learning technologists involved in the delivery of TEL services to staff and students, enabling them to benchmark their TEL services against sector trends.
The 2012 Survey Report pointed to the increasing use of student-owned tools in teaching and learning activities and Rachel Wenstone’s keynote address at ALT-C 2013 highlighted the emerging role of students as change agents and partners in the adoption and use of technologies in course delivery.
The 2014 Survey tracked these developments, and we will report on the service management issues associated with support for centrally-managed and student-owned tools and devices in this presentation, looking at the proportion of self-managed and outsourced provision and support activities, as well as the progress made with collaborative (inter-institutional) service models.
