UWS: Provision of a Supported Social Learning Platform
Authority: University of the West of Scotland (Education)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionWe are seeking a strategic partner with whom to develop our student learning ecosystem towards the year 2030. We are not looking to procure a fixed system which will perform in the current environment; we are seeking to secure a relationship that will assist us in benefitting from the most appropriate inputs into learning design as technology develops, and students needs and expectations evolve. In particular we want
- to be in a position to exploit opportunities in AI, AR and VR as they develop,
- in parallel with developing innovative approaches to teaching and assessment, and
- supporting our staff as they transition to managing a less homogeneous student population who want to engage in synchronous and asynchronous learning experiences, across a wide range of diverse academic disciplines.
