Project LighthouseTeaching and Learning with Digital Content

Project Lighthouse

Mark GavilletProduct Manager

Project Lighthouse is NOT:

…about making a product called Lighthouse

…about building a content management system

Project until now has concentrated on a solid foundation of enabling technologies to support further investigation and development

In itself, this has proven valuable and technologies developed will improve current products

Foundation

We strongly believe digital resources can do more to benefit teaching and learning

Centred on connecting technology based teaching and learning in meaningful ways

Why build the house?

Pilot institutions in UK comprising academics and student groups

USA and Australian pilots planned

First stage pilots

Increase in teaching and learning with digital resources, the majority involving workarounds

Workarounds display a need and a recognition of potential benefit

Benefits are such that effort is expended working around barriers

What happens if the barriers are removed?

Existing tools

Resources can be more than just digital facsimiles

Organic, living resources that evolve and improve as they are used

Growing resources

Accommodate student’s intuitive behaviour

Fully inclusive learning groups

Widen discussion

Peer learning

Call for pilots:

Self-selecting academics

Student groups

Learning technologists
