Social Network Learning Platform Events (Excellence in e learning, Summer

Conference) Sharing of Good Practice (Case Studies,

Excellence Gateway)


Our survey said …..

32% said they were at developing status in terms of e learning

96.4% said that motivating & engaging learners was the main driver for their organisation

63% said one of the main barriers to embedding e learning was lack of staff ICT skills

55.6% named lack of knowledge about e learning Main future support needs were identified as

‘hands on technology workshops’ and ‘examples of good practice’


Good Practice?

Learner Centred, not qualification centred Innovative Collaborative Engaging Meaningful Personalised Using the technology to enhance what we do, not

to to do what we have always done Recognise and harness existing skills


Technology Generation

Sat Nav Email Memory Sticks Powerpoint Excel Word Access Internet Explorer Sky Satellite TV CDs DVDs Digital Cameras Blogs Mobile Phones


No Technology Generation

Myspace Bebo Facebook MSN Google Youtube 4OD Ipod Limewire Laptop Xbox Wii PSP Skype Mobile Phone Firefox Games (3D) e bay


Harnessing Technology?

14-19s - What they already do …– Communicate– Collaborate– Network– Share– Peer Support


Skills?

"Primary children are doing now what we would have charged for five years ago.” (BBC Scotland)


Harnessing Skills ….

Download music (Limewire, Bearshare, Kazaa) Create Music Upload music (itunes, Limewire, Kazaa, Bearshare) Download video Create videos (mobile phones) Upload video (Youtube) Create personal spaces (with profiles, interests, comments

on others) Share: photos, music, videos, thoughts, Life


Learner Engagement

– Blogs (course materials, reflective journals, e portfolios, ILP?)– Wikis (collaborative projects)– Podcasts (chunks of learning in a variety of formats,

communication skills)– Photo sharing (Flickr etc.)– Video sharing (YouTube, Video Jug, Voicethread, Veotag etc.)– Social Networks (Ning)– 3D– Virtual Worlds (Second Life, There)– Mobile Learning (Mobile phones, ipods, PSPs)– Web 2.0 tools and technologies in general


Tools that enable

Collaboration Communication Personalisation Reflection Self assessment Peer assessment


Assessment

APIR Tool:– “The framework covers a wide range of factors that can

affect a young person's performance, outlook and behaviour, and the worker selects those parts of the framework that he or she feels is appropriate to the young person. Wherever possible, young people are encouraged to play a full part in completing and reviewing the results of the framework.”


Functional Skills

Assessment will be based primarily on task-based scenario questions with a limited duration and delivered in a controlled environment. The assessments will use and reinforce skills-based, problem solving learning techniques.


Assessment

Assessment for learning develops learners' capacity for self-assessment so that they can become reflective and self-managing

Independent learners have the ability to seek out and gain new skills, new knowledge and new understandings. They are able to engage in self-reflection and to identify the next steps in their learning. Teachers should equip learners with the desire and the capacity to take charge of their learning through developing the skills of self-assessment.

Assessment for learning should recognise the full range of achievements of all learners

Assessment for learning should be used to enhance all learners' opportunities to learn in all areas of educational activity. It should enable all learners to achieve their best and to have their efforts recognised.

(QCA Website, 10 principles: Assessment of learning)


Assessment

“We need students who own their learning to the extent that they can self-manage both their emotional and their cognitive responses to challenges, so that all their energies are spent on developing capability rather than disguising its absence.”


Functional Skills

Functional Skills

Blogs, wikis, social networks

English/Communication Studies (at work etc.) - using video of soap, role play situations which are scripted, filmed and edited by learners followed by analysis/feedback discussion in collaborative wiki or blog

Ebay, Amazon (shopping) Application of Number (measuring and collecting own data so it is meaningful and work related e.g. decorating a room, recording output/results digitally), mobile phones

Collaboration Using sketchup to create a design, Gliffy for collaborating on a design), Google Docs, Zoho applications, website design using the free tools out there, working with others on common meaningful projects

ICT Why create a poster? There is so much more you can do. Using existing APIs to create their own mash ups of applications, why Microsoft? Why not Google docs or Zoho applications.


Future ….

• …..networked learners (teachers, businesses)• …..ubiquitous access• …..dispersed curriculum• …..personalised learning• …..learner designed content• …..learner designed assessment

“The future is here. It’s just not widely distributed yet” (William Gibson)
