5. Why use E-Learning? Why Use ILT/ICT/e-Learning?
Engages Learners increasing the learning value of e-resources
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

6. “As a curriculum inspector, one of the judgements I make is whether
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

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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

10. 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

11. E-Learning & Lesson Observations
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

12. E-Learning & Lesson Observations
Aspects of e-learning likely to contribute to a Grade2 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

13. 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

14. 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

15. What is Blended 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 learner

16. What is Distance e-Learning?
e-Pedagogy
What is Distance e-Learning?
Learner and teacher not in the same physical vicinity
All learning materials delivered 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

17. Creating Interactive/On-line content
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
