The UK's Universities and Colleges Information Systems Association (UCISA) has released its sixth survey of technology enhanced learning for higher education, which is funded by JISC. The survey shows that UK higher education has made notable progress in helping students and staff access library services, e-mail and course announcements from their mobiles.
The survey focuses on the current provision of technology for learning within universities and colleges, and the emerging and planned patterns across the higher education community.
The report also reveals that academic staff knowledge is considered far less of a barrier to technology enhanced learning development than in other years, indicating greater progress with staff training and awareness of technology enhanced learning. However, the top two barriers to technology enhanced learning development remain the same as those identified in the previous survey: lack of time and insufficient financial resources.
For this year's survey report an additional layer of data on university mission groups was included, offering a different perspective on technology enhanced learning trends across the sector.
