e-learning, e-confidence and the e-confident school Government e-learning strategy –Consultation period ended 30/1/04

Realising the Vision for e-Learning Diana Laurillard E-Learning Strategy Unit DfES

“Writing has one grave fault in common with painting; for the creations of the painter have the attitude of life. And yet if you ask them a question they preserve a solemn silence. Socrates (on the failure of books in comparison with interactive dialogue): You would imagine that books had intelligence, but if you require any explanation of something that has been said, they preserve one unvarying meaning.” And the same may be said of books.

The texts made available online are no different from books in this sense And yet we are working with interactive technologies ICT = Information and Communication Technology Offering two kinds of interactivity: - Material interaction - Social interaction “…one unvarying meaning…”

Curriculum Innovation Supporting innovation in teaching and learning is a key element of the DfES consultation on the e-learning strategy. Dorset schools are involved in innovative National Curriculum development projects including: The use of Digital video assets at KS3 and 4 The development of a Schools Portal (Schools at all key stages ) Piloting of groundbreaking mapping and overlay tools Video conference facilities The imaginative use of Electronic Whiteboards for whole class teaching. The Use of Online Continuing Professional Development. The use of classroom voting technologies. Remote learning and extended schooling.

Standards in ICT - Dorset schools. How are we doing? Ofsted : KS1 Higher proportion of “Very good” schools KS2 Proportion of “poor” schools drops significantly to less than 1/3 National. KS3 Much higher proportion of “very good” 21% cf. National 8%. Smaller number requiring much improvement. KS4 Proportion of “very good” up and well above National and statistical neighbours. (Was zero good, now 13% very good and 25% good)

Standards in ICT - Dorset schools. How are we doing? The LEA analysis of NC TA results at the end of Key Stages 3 and their trends over three years shows an increase in the proportion of pupils achieving expected levels of attainment in ICT at the end of KS3; School level data and LEA averages compared with National shared with all schools over a five year period. 6% increase on 2001 now 14% above National

Laptops for Teachers More than 16 schools equipped with every teacher with a laptop. Across all Dorset schools more than half of all teachers will have a laptop by August Ahead of national target Total now 991 (38%) Yr 1 409, Yr (38%), Yr (68%) projected Yr 4 100%

Standards Fund 31a/b/c a (yet to be matched, schools to choose how much to allocate to each priority) Laptops for teachers - allocated on basis of number of eligible teachers - up by 50% this year) Hands On Support (dfes suggest between 10 and 20 % of 31a) ICTiS – based on percentages above, down 33% 31b Broadband – also yet to be matched - doubled to enable more schools to be connected to meet government targets 31c Electronic Learning Credits (elcs) - fixed sum allocated via formula for purchase of curriculum online accredited software – up 1.3% - but nurseries included.

What is Hands On Support? Hands on Support (HOS) is a new element of the ICT in Schools Standards Fund package. The purpose of HOS is to provide teachers with face-to-face support, in their own classroom environment, on an individually focussed, specialist to specialist basis, in the effective use of ICT in teaching and learning

Four suggested models model 1 – Central HOS programme designed, managed and delivered by the LEA;model 1 model 2 – Buy-in HOS programme - schools work in clusters to purchase a service;model 2 model 3 – Buy-in HOS programme - individual schools purchase a service;model 3 model 4 – HOS programme managed and delivered within an individual school. model 4

What is ESTUICT? Enhancing Subject Teaching Using ICT This project will ensure that teachers have access to high quality teaching and learning materials, which support the integration of ICT into the curriculum. It will also raise teacher confidence and competence in using ICT in the curriculum. The training materials will be available to all teachers in maintained schools including those in non- maintained special schools. National rollout will include the further subjects developed.

What is SLICT? SLICT focuses on the strategic role of headteachers in leading ICT in their schools. It is a unique and innovative programme, offering an opportunity to build your own knowledge, skills and understanding of the key issues and impact of leading ICT. Developed jointly by NCSL and Becta, the national roll-out of SLICT follows a successful pilot programme of 20 events held for headteachers around the country.
