A survey by Jisc found that lecturers in 33 UK universities and colleges rate their digital teaching environment highly. However, most academics lack time or opportunity to learn new tools, and university support for digital technologies appears to have slipped since COVID-19. Only 9% of lecturers felt they received formal recognition for their digital skills, meaning there may be a lack of incentive to invest necessary time. The survey could be useful for universities to gauge how academics are interacting with and feeling about new technologies, and to help identify where support can be targeted. The Teaching Staff Digital Experience Insights Survey 2023-24 was published on 21 October, with 32 core questions about the overall experience of teaching using digital technologies. Many lecturers value and use a wide range of digital technologies provided by their institutions, on- and off-campus, and many lecturers said technologies complement their teaching and help to improve student engagement with learning.
