The purpose of this short guide is to assist staff to meaningfully incorporate technology into the learning and teaching approach of their modules and can be summed up as:
To make active use of technology to meaningfully enhance the learning, teaching and assessment experience.
For those already using technology at the minimum Enhance level, then further developing practice at the Extend and Empower levels, where appropriate and desired, may be a natural progression.
While not all modules or programmes can be taught fully online, an underlying principle of the framework is that all modules can adopt technology to benefit some aspect of the learning, teaching and assessment experience.
Recognising the iterative nature of adopting technology, the 3E Framework is based on a tried and tested Enhance-Extend-Empower continuum for using technology to effectively support learning, teaching and assessment across disciplines and levels of study.
Regardless of mode of delivery, the principles underpinning designing effective approaches to learning, teaching and assessment are the same.
The 3E Framework was originally developed as a means for thinking about and introducing technology-enhanced opportunities for increasing student autonomy in the redesign of courses.
