From October 2020 to May 2021,\u202fthe first ever \u202fStudent Digital Champions were employed at Queen\u2019s University. This successful partnership between the \u202fStudents\u2019 Union and \u202fCentre for Educational Development provided vital support \u202f\u2018to students by students\u2019 at a challenging time in the education sector.\u202f It demonstrated the benefit of recruiting part-time interns to support the work of the Students\u2019 Union but also the value of working closely with staff from an educational background to support and enhance digital learning across the institution. It was a rewarding role for all involved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three Student Digital Champions, each very excited about their role, engaged in\u202fa number of\u202fmeaningful initiatives and made a significant contribution to supporting learners and their educational experience during Covid and the rapid move to remote digital teaching. They worked hard to reach out to students, to channel the student voice and showcase good practice as well as reveal how we could also do things differently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
