Professor Mark Brown gave a presentation titled "Developing a Vibrant Digital Learning Culture: Exploring the Question of Quality" at Talis Insight 2015 in Birmingham. He discussed three key topics: 1) different definitions of quality, 2) three "flavors" or metaphors for thinking about quality, and 3) tools for enhancing quality by developing a culture of quality rather than relying solely on compliance. Overall, Brown argued that technology-enhanced learning initiatives will only be transformative if the right institutional culture is developed to support quality in teaching.
