Insights for Wales

Jisc's digital experience insights surveys provide powerful data on how your learners, teaching staff and professional services staff are using technology, what is making a difference and where improvements can be made – particularly important in the current climate.

We have also ensured the surveys map against the Digital 2030 framework, providing you with evidence of your progress against the framework.

Reports from 2021

5,921 learners, 1,181 teaching staff and 1,051 professional learning staff from further education, work-based learning and adult and community learning completed the surveys, providing robust evidence to measure progress against Digital 2030.

Our reports (mapped against the aims of Digital 2030) and information packs (mapped to the objective areas of Digital 2030) will help you compare your institutional findings against those from your sector. We will also work with you to help identify and prioritise any identified action points. Please contact your account manager for more information.

Digital 2030: a strategic framework for post-16 digital learning in Wales

To support the post-compulsory education and training sector, Llywodraeth Cymru (Welsh Government) have developed Digital 2030 as a strategic framework to set out their shared vision, aims and objectives for post-16 digital learning during the next decade.

Read the strategic framework and implementation guidance in full:

• Digital 2030: a strategic framework for post-16 digital learning in Wales (published June 2019) (pdf)
• Digital 2030: implementation guidance (2019) (pdf)

Our online guide Digital 2030 outlines the aims and objectives of the Digital 2030 framework and shows how digital technologies can support effective delivery by exploring a range of roles and responsibilities across the post-16 sector.

When do the surveys open and close?

Our surveys for students, teaching staff and professional services staff for 2020/21 have now closed and the reports will be available later in 2021. The 2021/22 surveys will open in November 2021 and will close end of April/mid-May in 2022 (final dates to be confirmed).

We provide extensive guidance on running the digital experience insights service (currently available in English only). See our advice and guidance pages.
