Digital Buzz at UoE
Improving digital skills isn’t just about learning to use digital tools – it’s also a learning mindset.
In the fourth blog post of their digital skills series, Dave Weller, Digital Skills Lead at the University of Exeter, discusses why digital learning is essential to improving digital capability, what it is, and the benefits it brings.
At DUUK we hosted a panel exploring what students want from their online HE experience, which two of our UoE students, Xin Zhao and Kirsty Heffernan, took part in.
Lisa Harris, Director of Digital Learning in the Business School, shares her experience of attending this panel, and we hear from Xin and Kirsty on their experience of the event.
The DUUK agenda was filled with amazing speakers from across the University.
Here we’re highlighting some of the amazing sessions from the DUUK agenda delivered by UoE colleagues, with feedback from the speakers to bring to life the collaboration from across the University during DUUK and celebrate the success of the event!
In Digital we endeavour to be user-led in everything that we do. This approach helps to build trust with our users, while knowing that we are providing them real value. We currently have one Student Communications and Engagement Assistant embedded within the Digital team, focusing on helping to increase engagement with our student audience.

In the third blog post of their digital skills series, Dave Weller, Digital Skills Lead at the University of Exeter, discusses why upgrading digital skills is harder than upgrading technology – and how the University’s Digital Skills Initiative will approach digital upskilling.
We created our Data Community in 2023 to help implement a more data-led culture across the University and to enable our colleagues to improve their data literacy.

The ability to use technology and digital services safely and in a positive manner is a critical digital skill, and one that underpins the approach that the University of Exeter’s Digital Skills Leads, Katie Steen and Dave Weller are taking towards digital upskilling.
In the second blog post of their digital skills series, Katie sheds more light on why digital wellbeing is so important – in both the workplace and at home.
We recently created a selection of films to bring to life our digital strategy and allow our users to increase their understanding of the University’s digital strategy vision and how we are delivering it. Take a look at our Digital Strategy film here!
Katie and Dave are our Digital Skills Leads, focusing on finding ways for our University community to develop their digital skills.
This is the first blog post in a series centred around digital skills at the University of Exeter, defining what we really mean by ‘digital skills’.
