Figuring out the changing world of further and higher education One Year On – What’s New & Where Next?” it includes a forward by David Jones OBE.

Identifying and addressing the professional development needs required of staff, to acquire and use new digital skills and competencies to implement the new pedagogy and content. 4. Recognising the reality of “digital poverty”, and addressing inequities in learner access, resulting from the variability of individual access to devices, applications and internet connectivity. 5. Recognising the need for changes in regulatory practice, as a result of developments in pedagogy, in order to remove restrictions and barriers to change from Governments, Examination Boards, Inspectors and others. 6. Accepting the need to update contracts of employment to positively and supportively align with evolving working practice and new ways of delivering teaching and learning.
