Delivering online learning: SFA response to FELTAG report
“The 2014 to 2015 individualised learner record (ILR) includes a field which asks for the proportion of the curriculum design (scheme of work) delivered by computer-mediated activity rather than by a lecturer. This is activity which replaces face to face lecturing time including webinars, but not time spent on researching information on the web. The Agency will only be using this ILR data to gauge the current volume of online delivery and establish a baseline to inform funding policy development and implementation for future years.”

Completing the ILR code
Delivering online learning: SFA response to FELTAG report
“The Agency would like providers to complete a temperature check survey to indicate the current level of online learning in their existing provision. The feedback from this survey, together with AY 2014 to 2015 ILR data returns, will be used to gauge the current volume of online delivery and establish a baseline to inform funding policy development and implementation for future years.”
FELTAG update 8
Temperature check survey
Delivering online learning: SFA response to FELTAG report
“The FELTAG definition of a 10% wholly-online component relates to the proportion of each programme of study that could be moved from face-to-face delivery to online delivery. This online component could include time when learners learn online, interact with other learners online or use online content, systems, tools and services with little, if any, direct tutor support.”
FELTAG update 9
Definition: 10% wholly online component
Delivering online learning: SFA response to FELTAG report
“Ideally all courses should have some wholly-online elements, with some programmes having a more substantial proportion, depending on the range and type of provision. For example, higher-level programmes that involve a large proportion of learner-led independent study might include more online elements than programmes with learners who require more support or courses with a high level of manual skills training such as catering or forestry.”
FELTAG update 10
Definition: 10% wholly online component
Delivering online learning: SFA response to FELTAG report
“We are not expecting providers to convert 10% of learning delivery in each programme of study ‘en bloc’ to online to meet a ‘directive’. Rather, we are encouraging providers to establish a strategy to determine where the adoption of a greater ‘blend’ of delivery and assessment types adds most value to a learning programme.”
