Using ICT

Part of the joint NIACE and NRDC series, Developing Adult Teaching and Learning: Practitioner Guides

Published by NIACE in partnership with the National Research and Development Centre for Adult Literacy and Numeracy (NRDC), this is one of a series of guides to good practice – each in a key area of adult education – arising from five Effective Practice Studies carried out by NRDC from 2003 to 2007.

The series looks critically at how emerging and published research can inform the development of teaching and learning strategies for adults. It is designed to support practitioners working in a variety of settings.

Each guide in the series aims to update teachers on research and to encourage them to reflect on their practice. They are intended to inspire teachers to try ideas and approaches which research suggests are effective. Principles of good practice are illustrated by clear and relevant case studies from current research. All examples are highly relevant to the classroom. Pointers to further reading are provided.

This guide shows how digital technologies can be used to enhance teaching and learning in Skills for Life provision. It provides readers with practical tips and ideas for using ICT in their teaching. These ideas can be transferred within different curriculum areas and teaching contexts.

The authors present several teaching approaches that have been proposed and trialled by tutors using digital technologies with Skills for Life learners in literacy, numeracy and ESOL. Examples are given by way of seven case studies to

Four principles guide teaching approaches: collaboration, autonomy, technology variety and construction of artefacts.
