E-learning
What is the e-learning programme?
The programme aims to drive improvement in teaching and learning by increasing the effective use of e-learning in all areas of learning, by developing the skills and knowledge of e-learning to support colleagues in their use of technology.
Within the training itself, the objectives are to:
- explore the role of e-learning
- develop skills in the use of technology throughout the learner journey
- consider and plan models of cascade training, coaching and mentoring
- provide teachers with resources for developing e-learning with their colleagues in their organisations.
How e-learning can help you with your CPD
Participation in the programme may contribute to your 30 hours (or pro rata) CPD requirement provided you:
- critically reflect on what you have learned
- evidence how you have applied this to your practice
- evidence how this has impacted on your learners' experience and success.
Additionally e-learning can support staff in their CPD through cascade activities.
What will QIA be doing to support eLearning?
QIA will shortly be commissioning an integrated workforce development programme for e-learning which will be :
- develop and mapped to the new teaching standards
- based on the pedagogical eLearning standards
- developed within a framework for eLearning CPD to help fulfil the IfL (Institute for Learning) requirement for 30hrs CPD (or pro rata)
- developed so that practitioners can make best use of the investment in the Subject Learning Coach elearning materials and the Excellence Gateway
- developed so that practitioners can make best use of the investment in the NLN elearning materials
- takes into account previous programmes such as the ILT Champions and FPP (FERL Practitioners Programme)
- underpinned by appropriate IT Skills training delivered through the ITQ framework.
The new programme will be operating from late 2008 with delivery of training expected in early 2009.
