About Digital Learning
Who We Are
We are a team of learning designers and technologists who aim to enable, enhance and transform learning, teaching and the digital learning ecosystem through partnership, innovation and an evidence-informed approach.
Working across all academic faculties, our specialists combine an understanding of pedagogical practice with technical expertise. Each faculty is supported by a digital learning consultant and advisor who work to understand their unique disciplinary context and can call on the Learning Design and Educational Technology teams within Digital Learning as required. We support key learning platforms including, but not limited to, Moodle, Mahara, Padlet, and EchoVideo, while remaining flexible in exploring and supporting additional tools that meet people’s specific teaching needs.
What We Do
We partner with colleagues across the University of Warwick to develop capability and capacity across the organisation in digital learning practices so that our students receive a world-leading educational experience.
Digital Learning operates as interconnected specialist teams – Faculty Support, Learning Design and Educational Technology. This structure allows us to provide both specialised faculty support and broader institutional expertise. By working directly with academic teaching and professional service staff, we develop solutions that respect disciplinary differences and individual teaching styles. Our consultants and advisors collaborate closely with colleagues across the University to ensure digital tools enhance rather than complicate the teaching process.
Why We Do It
By embracing technology, we create richer, inclusive and more engaging learning experiences that foster deeper understanding, collaboration, and accessibility. These innovations enable us to build on Warwick’s strengths, ensuring our teaching remains cutting-edge, inclusive, and globally relevant for years to come.
Education continues to evolve, and digital technologies have become increasingly central to how we teach and learn. But technology alone isn't the answer – it's about thoughtfully selecting and implementing tools that enhance the teaching and learning experience. We believe in making education more accessible and engaging through digital means, while preserving the academic excellence that defines our University. Our role is to help teaching staff navigate this landscape confidently, ensuring technology and pedagogy inform each other to provide a world-class educational experience.
How We Do It
We partner with staff to co-design tailored digital solutions that align with teaching goals, ensuring smooth implementation and lasting impact on student learning.
Here are 3 ways we ensure digital innovation is effective, sustainable, and embedded within departments:
- Understanding Your Needs– We start by working closely with you to explore your specific teaching and learning needs. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, we develop solutions that make sense for your subject area, teaching style, and students.
- Implementing the Right Solutions– We collaborate with your team to integrate the best digital tools and approaches, ensuring they enhance learning without adding unnecessary complexity.
- Building Long-Term Capability– We provide training and support to ensure digital solutions are sustainable within departments, empowering staff to use them with confidence.
Our goal is to make incorporating digital technology as seamless, effective, and rewarding as possible—so that you can focus on what matters most: delivering an outstanding learning experience.
