Technology benefits for learningResearch from Becta ICT Test Bed shows
“Electronic learning resources enabled greater personalisation of learning”
for the learner it provides–ease of review of learning supporting reflection–flexibility of submission and feedback on work–wider experience
because the teacher can–easily create/adapt learning activities–store and share activities–provide tests which give instant feedback–link with others
and the organisation benefits from increased efficiency in–enrolling and tracking students –managing the curriculum and staff –monitoring performance
How Streamlined is your Learner Journey?
• How is your area prospectus created and maintained?
• How do learners obtain IAG and apply?
• How does learner information move between partners?
• How do you know if a learner is in attendance?
• How are learners entered for assessments?
• How are partners paid for their contribution to the programme?
How do your learners learn?
• Do learners move between partners?
• Do staff move between partners?
• Do you use a learning platform(s)?
• Can learners access the learning platform from any site and/or home?
• Is your learning platform integrated with your learner records system?
• Do you use technology to motivate learners?
How easily do you manage your delivery?
• Do you know the number of Diploma places available for learners?
• Do you know how many learners are on Diploma programmes?
• Can you tell exactly where any individual learner is?
• Do you know how much a particular line of learning costs to deliver to an individual learner and/or a group?
• When will you know what your success rates are?
