In Autumn 2021, 12 student digital champions were recruited by the DEO and the UoB Students’ Union, from across all faculties in the university. They are now working hard to reach out to students, and work with us to channel the student voice across the University straight to the DEO. They’re particularly interested in finding examples of excellent student engagement, and ways to foster feelings of community and motivation when learning online. Throughout their time working with us, they’ll be creating case studies and short media pieces to share what they find, and coming up with suggestions and ideas for how we could do things differently as well as showcasing what is really going well.
The student digital champions will need to ask questions of both staff and students, have access to students’ views, work with course reps, and delve into the teaching and learning going on in Bristol so far. If you encounter them along the way, try to help them as much as possible! You can also seek them out if you want to let them know about something really interesting happening in your school, or if you’re a student and want to get in touch with them.
They can be contacted via digital-education@bristol.ac.uk, or students can ask their course reps to feed back to the digital champions.
