RSCs – Stimulating and supporting innovation in learning Why use E-Learning? Why Use ILT/ICT/e-Learning?  Engages Learners increasing the learning value of e-resources Engages Learners Engages Learners  Provides almost infinite variety of presentation/delivery methods  ILT facilitates differentiation strategies, learners can achieve at own pace etc  Enhances recording and presentation of achievements  Learners can revisit materials as often as needed  Teachers can modify materials as courses progress  Facilitates consistency of learning materials across the curriculum  Provides learning support staff with relevant/consistent materials  Can provide accurate/reliable data to support planning and evaluation

RSCs – Stimulating and supporting innovation in learning Why use E-Learning? An Inspector Calls:- “As a curriculum inspector, one of the judgements I make is whether e-Learning enhances, or could have significantly enhanced, the learners’ experience in the lessons observed and the work examined. I then look at the consistency with which the teaching and learning and ILT/E-Learning strategies are being implemented by the department or area.” From “Demonstrating Transformation” BECTA Publications

RSCs – Stimulating and supporting innovation in learning Why use E-Learning? E-learning  Is learning facilitated/supported through the use of ICT. It can involve the use of:- computers, interactive whiteboards, digital cameras, the internet, virtual learning environments, electronic communication tools, , discussion boards, chat facilities, video conferencing etc.  E-learning should form part of the overall teaching and learning strategy, meaning:- appropriate references to e- learning in schemes of work, lesson plans, assignments, course reviews, staff development plans etc  An overall strategy for e-learning should be supported by senior managers.

RSCs – Stimulating and supporting innovation in learning Why use E-Learning? Effective e-Learning should:  improve learners’ understanding of topics or activities that are part of their academic or vocational programme  improve their skills and their knowledge of the technology being used  help to maintain their interest in their programme. Of particular importance is whether:  staff and learners have the relevant IT skills to make good use of e-learning facilities  there are adequate resources for e-learning  the quality and effectiveness of e-learning is monitored  there are appropriate opportunities for learners to use e- learning facilities outside scheduled lessons.

RSCs – Stimulating and supporting innovation in learning E-Learning & Lesson Observations Aspects of e-learning likely to contribute to a Grade 4 lesson observation  Paper based learning materials  No use of VLE to support learning outside the classroom  Few references to internet resources available to support teaching and learning  No use of technology in the classroom to add variety to delivery / address different learning styles

RSCs – Stimulating and supporting innovation in learning E-Learning & Lesson Observations Aspects of e-learning likely to contribute to a Grade 3 lesson observation  Use of PowerPoint to aid delivery in classroom  Reference to some Internet resources on Schemes of work and assignments  Minimal level of support available to students outside classroom through a VLE  Learners encouraged to use the organisations resources through the use of ILT, e.g. Online revision materials  Learners supported in their development of their use of ILT  Learner participation tracked with the help of ILT

RSCs – Stimulating and supporting innovation in learning E-Learning & Lesson Observations 2 Aspects of e-learning likely to contribute to a Grade 2 lesson observation  Use of a variety of approaches to classroom delivery e.g. student centred work, interactive activities  The selection and use of appropriate ILT learning environments  The facilitation of individual on-line learning e.g. blogs, online diaries  Facilitation of on-line learning for groups of learners e.g. forums, video/audio  Facilitation of a collaborative working environment via the use of ILT  Planning and creation of ILT materials, and evaluation of their effectiveness

E-Learning & Lesson Observations 2 Aspects of e-learning likely to contribute to a Grade 2 lesson observation (Con)  Support for learners to enhance their knowledge and skills of using ILT  Assessment, with the help of ILT, individualised learning and achievement  Prioritised/targeted support for learners to identify their learning needs through the use of ILT  Prioritised and targeted support for learners in identifying their preferred learning styles through the use of ILT RSCs – Stimulating and supporting innovation in learning

RSCs - Stimulating and supporting innovation in learning E-Learning & Lesson Observations Aspects of e-learning likely to contribute to a Grade 1 lesson observation  Self motivated collaborative working using ILT e.g. Flickr, e-diaries etc  Fully supported student learning/achievement outside the classroom using ILT (VLEs)  Provision of opportunities for peer and tutor support outside the classroom (communication, messaging, )  Active encouragement of the development of learner ILT/ICT skills  Support the development of on-line learning communities (e.g. Facebook, social technologies, forums)  Submission of e-resources regarded as key evidence of learning

E-Learning & Lesson Observations Aspects of e-learning likely to contribute to a Grade 1 lesson observation  Recording and reporting on learners’ progress and achievements using ILT  Learners supported in their development and review of their personal learning plans facilitated by the use of ILT  Embedded use of ILT in the identification and sharing of good practice  Embedded use of Blended Learning RSCs - Stimulating and supporting innovation in learning

e-Pedagogy What is Blended Learning?  Mix of delivery techniques and locations - classroom/ workplace/interactive/didactic/self study/guided activity/ assignment work/ embedded assessment/interactive word/interactive presentations/continuous feedback  Types of personalised interactivity – animations/web quests/learning material’s/VLE’s/repositories/quizzes/word searches/voting technology/wiki’s/blogs/social networking technologies/support for the learneranimations RSCs - Stimulating and supporting innovation in learning

e-Pedagogy What is Distance e-Learning?  Learner and teacher not in the same physical vicinity  All learning materials delivered on-line on-line  Materials created specifically for course/qualification  Requires self motivated learners or close supervision  Levels of interactivity should be intense i.e. quizzes  Feedback essential - instant is best  Variety of presentation is important unless sessions kept to maximum length  Use of communication tools, building sense of community and collaborative working essential RSCs - Stimulating and supporting innovation in learning

e-Pedagogy Creating Interactive/On-line content  Break content down into individual learning points  Possible use of storyboard techniques  Build related learning points into logical units  Keep on-line sessions to minute bite sized chunks  Possible use of pedagogy planning tools  Build in collaborative exercises  Use external links  Use the advantages of ICT not the restrictions  Do include elements of induction and assessment RSCs - Stimulating and supporting innovation in learning
