The SLiCpod Project

We consider our Learning Centre and Library at Cumbernauld College to be a relaxed learner focused environment in which we continually identify opportunities for improvement and in the past few years we have developed the service to include laptop lending, laptop touchdown zones, short-stay zones, buddy stations and adjustable workstations.

A key aspect of this project was to inform purchasing decisions on moving away from the traditional lending DVD/Video/Audio materials to mobile ready content delivered from or via the College network. The greatest lesson learned is in the availability of, and ease of access to, suitable sustainable mobile ready content for learning. We believe we can see opportunity for content development of materials where students have the choice of whether they watch it, read it or listen to it and that these learning styles choices can have an impact on lifestyle by facilitating study on the move or whilst undertaking other tasks.
