Service user focus is a strength 60-70% say that SCIE’s work is excellent or
good

Voluntary or private sector least likely to know or use
Practice guides and knowledge reviews – most commonly used resource
What we know

information via website than via guide books Higher level of e-literacy But some people do not or cannot use
computer

Thinking outside the box
Background
E-learning A reminder of what SCIE’s view of e-learning is: 'If someone is learning in a way that uses
information and communication technologies, then they are e-learning.'
Headline achievements in e-learning
A major study in e-learning readiness within the sector by Mori
the first 10 learning objects with 20 more in production and 30 proposed
First phases of a European project - Process-oriented Learning and Information eXchange (Prolix) designed to align learning with business processes via competency gap identification
Supporting Induction in Social care (SISCo) a regional study and pilot focussing on the basic skills and induction processes in the sector
Overall features of the work
The research undertaken so far points to a growing awareness and readiness in the sector to e-learning and ICT use
SCIE’s work on content was eagerly awaited has been well received, and we are very conscious of the need to provide engaging, accessible and high quality products
Our work within the European project is raising issues about just how ready the small operators in our sector are
We have produced our first sets of material and work in progress can be viewed online
Over the horizon
Mobile technologies Ubiquity of provision Knowledge management and development Virtual service users in training Web 2.0 Blended approaches which further blur any
distinctions we now make Blogging and communities of learners
