E-Learning
An introductory workbook for staff in post-16 education
Alison Page and Kevin Donovan |
|
Everybody’s doing it…or are they? e-learning is currently in vogue – and rightly so.
The use of computer-related technology for teaching and learning has been around for some time; now it is written into official policy. There is a DfES ‘e-strategy’ and there have been programmes to offer resources, advice and support in all sectors of education and training. More importantly there is a growing body of evaluation evidence to show that the appropriate use of technology can attract learners back into education, keep them there, motivate and enthuse them – and improve their achievements.
But what about the individual tutor, teacher or trainer, assailed on all sides by calls to adopt technology approaches and confused by the myriad sources of support and resources? How do staff acquire the necessary technology skills – and how do they ensure that new approaches don’t undermine existing effective approaches to teaching? This updated edition of a favourite NIACE workbook offers help to novices and the experienced. It includes practical assistance, tips on assessing staff skills, case studies of effective practice, and pointers to further support. The workbook can be used by individuals as a study guide, or by small or large groups for collective professional development.
