This article presents the outcomes of a recent study into the use of learning technologies by first-year students from a variety of different entry routes and across a variety of subject areas at the University of Edinburgh. The focus was on ‘critical moments’; specifically, the involvement and impact of both institutional and personal technologies on learners' transition to university and how their use of learning technology changes as they progress through their first year. Results of this JISC-funded project are also presented in a workshop at Online Educa Berlin on Wednesday, December 3rd.
