All The Strategic use of Technology Projects

The Adult and Community Learning (ACL) e-Learning Position Statement (eLPs) tool.

 The ACL eLPs was designed as an aid to both institutional strategic planning in e-learning and to support institutional quality improvement processes. As well as its use within NIACE's e-learning management and leadership courses, the tool was also embedded in individual consultancies and within the NIACE Digital Learning team's capital investment funding work.

The ACL eLPs tool was superseded by Becta's Technology Improvement Leadership Tool - Generator. NIACE formed part of the development team for Generator and continued to contribute to its development and piloting with community-based adult learning providers. The use of the Generator tool wass integrated into NIACE's e-learning capital funding projects (CAMEL).

Online Learning Matters

Following the development and delivery of NIACE's initial online courses, an opportunity was realised to bring together the lessons learnt from the development of online courses and learning platform projects, and to deliver this as a comprehensive publication with an optional one-day training event to highlight the publication.  This project provided organisations with a comprehensive basis for the development of online learning courses within their own organisation.

E-Guides eCPD Online

The E-Guides eCPD programme trained teachers of adults to make good use of technology in their teaching and to cascade their learning to colleagues.

The programme was an introduction for post-16 practitioners to e-learning and using technology effectively in teaching and learning. It 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.
