 The INDEX survey is important to me as it will help plan how best to support our students and build learning communities using digital tools. As an advocate of teaching enhanced learning, understanding students' digital experience is a key element to designing appropriate resources and assessment. As we work on the next generation digital architecture for hibernia college the INDEX survey could provide invaluable insights on the way forward. Hi guys, we look forward to hearing what support you think is useful for students and what your views are on digital and virtual learning. As digital learning lecturer here at Mendenthi University I'm really happy to hear that this survey is going to inform our pedagogy and also help us to look at our infrastructure here.

Hi guys, the college is in european and on digital learning this is the opportunity to have her save and help them to improve it. I teach information literacy and part of our course we encourage students to take an active role in their learning and part of this active role is getting used to a different technology here in university. I feel that this survey is vitally important, especially for our practice we may feel that. The INDEX survey is important to me because it encourages real partnership in identifying and developing our digital needs. This is the first time that staff in higher education have come together with students to share their views on what digital platforms are delivering for teaching and learning and critically how they can be developed in the future. Hi, my name is George, I'm a business student here at CCT College Dublin I'm really looking forward to the results of the INDEX survey to see how technology is helping private colleges and beyond I'm also part of the CCT College INDEX group service.

Hi everyone, this is your opportunity to take part in a survey that will assist us to engage the current digital services that are available to students across universities in Ireland. We look forward to your valuable feedback that will help us improve the services currently. Thanks.

The INDEX survey is important to me because it will inform the direction of our digital education and learning analytics policy and ultimately I hope that it will support educational transformation and student success. Hello, I'm David Carpenter, CEO of Hibernia College and recent chair of HECA, the Higher Education Colleges Association. With over 4 billion people connected online today and is no surprise, digital technology is now an integral part of our lives. Higher Education Colleges are investing in digital technologies to build educational materials for teaching and learning, to teach learners and to regulate courses based on student centre learning strategies. From simple adoption of in-person technology instruction to complex adoption using lecture capture, online chat, discussion boards and social networking services the higher education sector adopts blended learning as a norm to improve the effects of using the learning environment as more active approaches to drive student engagement. These in turn are designed to drive improvements in student satisfaction with the learning experience, improve student retention rates and improve overall academic performance. The INDEX survey provides a unique opportunity to use insights into student and staff experiences with the application of digital technologies in a higher education setting as a basis for future strategic decisions about digital initiatives and investments in higher education. In addition, it provides us with the opportunity to benchmark Ireland against countries such as the UK, Australia and New Zealand. I strongly encourage you to participate in the survey and help us to determine how we might build a digital future together. Thank you for taking this time to do so. My name is Joseph Rine, Chief Executive of Thea. Thea institutions are fully supportive of the National Forum's INDEX survey. Our institutions are all for student success and to that end we have to engage with collecting the data and building an evidence base around digital experience, digital capacity, digital literacy and all with the view of enhancing student success. To that end, I encourage all of our staff and our students in higher education to engage with the INDEX survey over these coming weeks. Thank you. The Union of Students in Ireland are delighted to support the INDEX survey. In its delays, the learning teaching experience can be enhanced and transformed through the use of modern technology. Students are learners, co-creators and innovators and technology has the power to aid them through their learning journey. We are excited to learn more about the national digital experience of students and those who support them in their learning. Please make the most of this opportunity to shape the future direction of digital learning and teaching and contribute to the survey.
