E-Guides, lead by example - National Teaching and Learning Change Programme


E-Guides eCPD
21st Century Skills

The E-Guides training programme is an introduction for practitioners from the learning and skills sectors to e-learning and using technology effectively in teaching and learning. It is delivered by NIACE on behalf of the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS) alongside the Professional Development Advisers (PDAs) eCPD

The E-Guides eCPD and PDAs eCPD fulfil part of the Institute of Learning's (IfL's) 30 hour (or pro rata) continuing professional development (CPD) requirement. The programmes form a cornerstone in the delivery of the employability strand of Becta's Harnessing Technology for Next Generation Learning.

E-learning is learning supported or enhanced through the application of Information and Communications Technology (ICT).

More than 2,500 learning and skills sector staff have trained as E-Guides since 2004. The E-Guides programme has made a major contribution to the e-maturity of organisations in personal development and community learning (formerly known as ACL - adult and community learning), work-based learning, voluntary and community sector and offender learning and skills.
