Beyond the technology: The education 4.0 podcast

We couldn’t have hoped for a better way to kick off series one, episode one, than being joined by education consultant and thought leader Eric Stoller. Eric was joined by our head of change - student experience Sarah Knight to discuss the value of social media and digital engagement and how it can transform education. We also hear from Kardi Somerfield, senior lecturer in digital marketing and advertising talking about her use of digital channels to engage students at The University of Northampton.

Sue Attewell chats to us about our student ideas competition, which launches next year; from how to work the competition into the curriculum, to what students can gain from entering (from business skills to confidence and everything in-between).

Together with Emerge Education, we're looking for fresh edtech ideas from students. Winners will receive £2,000 and expert mentoring. The student ideas competition is part of our edtech launchpad.

Staff digital capabilities are central to student and organisational success. It's a digital world, and in addition to a chosen subject, students are preparing for work and life in a digital society.

At Jisc we believe that education technology (edtech) can improve education, research and student life – and not just in the classroom or lecture theatre. However, most of us are consumers of technology rather than producers.
