The JISC Curriculum Design and Delivery Projects have investigated a wide range of different approaches to teaching with technology, and to supporting technology-enhanced learning. In each case it has been the challenges posed by the curriculum or the learning needs of students that has been to the fore. Different technologies and environments are suitable to support different learning approaches. The Duckling project, for example, has mapped three technologies to the pedagogic approaches most likely to support enhancement and transformation, while the OULDI project has produced a Pedagogy Profile to help map technologies to the different pedagogies in use. Considering the technology advantage is another approach.

For a curriculum to be delivered effectively, taking full advantage of the affordances of learning technologies, Duckling established that careful consideration needs to be given to design and redesign, not only of the curriculum but also of the learning and teaching approaches on a course. (Duckling)

Within the Design Studio you can find evidence about the use of technology to support the following broad approaches to teaching and learning:

Collaborative and peer learning

Independent learning, including learning through reflection

Authentic learning tasks

Practical learning (lab and fieldwork)

Assessment and feedback for learning

Inquiry-based, problem-based or case-based learning

Using new spaces and places for learning

These are some of the techniques that have been used by specific JISC CDD projects to support student learning in particular subject areas and contexts:

• Creative learning through media production: Springboard TV
• Creative learning through conversations in interactive spaces: Information Spaces for Creative Conversations
• Creative learning in the practices of design: Atelier-D project
• Mobile and blended learning for business studies: Kube project
• Mobile learning in the field: MORSE project
• Assessment and feedback for learning: ESCAPE project and Making Assessment Count
• Personal development using learning maps and personal information portals: Dynamic learning maps
• Personal development through coaching: Personalised Curriculum Creation through Coaching (PC3) project
