Effective Practice in a Digital Age. Learning design and assessment with e-tivities. 3E Framework. The use of technology to enhance learning, teaching and assessment is a key aspect of the staff and student experience at Edinburgh Napier. Beyond the now well-established use of the University’s virtual learning environment, a rich range of new and currently emerging technologies are being effectively used to support learning, teaching and assessment in classroom, blended, and online contexts.
The underlying principle of the University benchmark is that all modules can adopt technology to effectively benefit some aspect of the learning, teaching and assessment experience. The University benchmark for the use of technology in modules, which you can find here, is therefore designed to help academic staff to consider new or further developed uses of technology that are appropriate for the contexts within which they teach.
