  1. Developing e-learning materials for HE in FE Colleges Karen Ingram Bexley College

  2. Background • NLN Project • Training • From planning to practice • Introducing e-learning • Software needs • Student response • Staff response

  3. What’s available • Prepared materials • FERL • NLN • FENC • Digital Brain • LearnDirect • Help from other sources • University training • Will from JISC • Reload training

  4. Lessons Learned - 1 • Starting point • Senior Leadership support • Development & delivery of the bid • Staff training • “Equipment problems” • Staff changes • Purchasing software

  5. Lessons Learned - 2 • Steep learning curve (death by PowerPoint) • Time to evaluate pre-prepared materials • Differentiation • SENDA • ICT/ILT & subject specialists • How to carry on • Preparing materials for HE

  6. HE Level 1 - Certificate Level • Knowledge of underlying concepts & principles • Evaluate and interpret data • Develop lines of argument • Make sound judgements • Evaluate different approaches to problem solving • Present data • Communicate results of study accurately & reliably

  7. HE Level 2- Diploma Level • Knowledge & critical understanding of well-established principles & the way these have developed • Knowledge of main methods of enquiry • Understanding the limits of knowledge • Use a range of established techniques to initiate & undertake critical analysis of information

  8. HE Level 2- Diploma Level • Apply concepts & principles outside the context in which studies • Evaluate critically different approaches to problem solving • Propose solutions to problems • Communicate effectively information, arguments and analysis in many forms to various audiences • Deploy key skills techniques

  9. Using the Academic Infrastructure • Student learning styles related to Academic Infrastructure • HE1 – supported basic understanding of the subject • HE2 – greater autonomy, understanding of detail of the subject, developing the capacity to work at HE3 • HE3 – questioning, increasing self directed, research focus

  10. E-Learning in HE • Link the Academic Infrastructure to the learning styles and the teaching styles for each level • Do not reinvent wheels – books are not redundant • Consider what is to be e-learning and what not • Specific and quantifiable support • Blended is best

  11. Tools to move forward • Blackboard • E-toolbox (P4U) • Viewlett builder • Hot Potatoes • Reload • Discussion forums • On-line testing

  12. The Challenge • Effective & innovative materials • Fit for purpose - correct level • Learner centred • Ease of use – staff & students • Support • Current and quickly developed • Cost effective • Time!
