It’s been a busy week here at GCU Blended Learning Towers. We’ve just finished the onsite part of of the Jisc Effective Analytics Programme. So this week has been a flurry of workshops and interviews led by the consulting team of Andy Ramsden and Steve Bailey. Although Andy and Steve work for Blackboard, the discovery phase is “platform agnostic” and is as much about culture and people as technology. The evaluation rubric used had more about culture and people than technology. Having a team who really understand the UK HE sector was very reassuring. Sadly, it’s not often that you can say that about and HE.
I think GCU is the second institution to go through the discovery process, I know there are quite a few others who will be doing the same over the next six months. The process is pretty straightforward and outlined in the diagram below.
