telblogmin, 26 October 2017 Introduction Keeping abreast of new and emerging tech forms part of the Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) programme vision at Health Education England (HEE) so that we continue to train our staff to the highest standards, using contemporary pedagogy and tools proven to work. In this WeCommunities Twitter chat, we explored the opportunity, implications, and readiness…
telblogmin, 5 October 2017 This is the third in our series of blog posts on the way we have tested our assumptions around a national learning solution for health and care employees. We have been holding a series of ‘ideathons’ with health and care colleagues where we have presented ideas and concepts and got users to provide feedback on…
telblogmin, 2 October 2017 This is the second in our series of blog posts on the way we have tested our assumptions around a national learning solution for health and care employees. At the first, of two, Health Education England learning technology ‘Ideathon’ users from across the UK were gathered to test a number of concepts to understand how…
telblogmin, 2 October 2017 In our last TEL blog post on the subject of taxonomies, we explained the importance of taxonomies and how they power many of the websites we all use every day. Taxonomies are our superpower and without them, we would struggle to find much of the information we take for granted when using Google, Bing or…
telblogmin, 22 September 2017 Once upon a time, when building a new product or service, such as a website, a client would issue a brief and the supplier would build it before releasing it to the user. Users would either love or loath the new solution and have very little say in the process. This is the “Kevin Costner…
telblogmin, 12 September 2017 Now that the work has been completed on the discovery phase of the Learning Solution, we have moved into the alpha phase. This means that we will be building a prototype of the service and testing it with potential users, as well as demonstrating that the service we want to build is viable. As part…
telblogmin, 18 August 2017 Work continues with engaging health and care staff with the HEE digital capabilities framework. The framework describes the digital literacy domain capabilities (see the domains below) at different levels. We’re working on ways of making the complex framework accessible and useful to everyone – ways in which people can begin to assess their own levels…
telblogmin, 16 July 2017 The HEE TEL programme recently guest hosted a chat on Twitter with the support of #WeCommunities, a format we’ve used before and really enjoyed. It’s an opportunity, in an hour, to engage with people on a specific topic and really learn from the insight, experience and expertise of people either from a specific community or…
telblogmin, 26 June 2017 When asked which superpower they could select, most people would choose the ability to fly, to see through walls, to have the power of invisibility or some other enhanced physical ability like Superman or Wonder Woman. But some of the most powerful superpowers come in a very different form. What if there was a superpower…
telblogmin, 30 March 2017 Susan and Richard enjoyed a meeting this week with mHabitat in Leeds. As part of our work in digital literacy, we are keen to learn from and contribute to the work of others in the field. Mhabitat is hosted by Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and they work to support innovation in health…
telblogmin, 28 March 2017 Three of us from the Technology Enhanced Learning Programme were lucky enough to be able to attend the RCN conference, in Cardiff. This is a particularly important time in nursing as their standards are currently being reviewed. The current pre-registration standards for nursing were published in 2010 and since then there has been an unprecedented…
telblogmin, 28 March 2017 We should probably more accurately say ‘what are digital literacies’ as digital literacy comprises a whole set of capabilities that go towards making up something that we might recognise as being digitally literate.
