  4. Different types of VLE

  5. Once you learn to drive a car, you can quickly get used to a different make. How we use the VLE to support learning is more important than being an ICT expert.

  6. Phase 1 de Ferrers Specialist Technology College VLE my a**e…!

  7. Phase 2 I’d love to use the VLE more but it’s making me tear my hair out…!

  8. Phase 3 VLE? Let’s really get stuck in….

  9. SIMS De Ferrers TV MY DOCUMENTS CLIPBANK

  10. Learning Platform developments: VLE • Several years experience already – admin fully electronic – no paperwork! Staff trained to use VLE for communication, notices, QA, cover • All subjects now covered with pages & resources at KS5, most at KS4 and some at KS3 – system makes it hard to track use & map out everything • Expanding more into KS3/4 to pick up other subjects, more clubs and groups • Increased diversity of activities being used by various staff, including support staff • Developing ‘new’ VLE (Frog) for September 2009 – will allow parental access to data – more creativity.

  11. E-Mentoring D + T Relevant links for independent learning. Class vote on topical subject. Pod casting Download Live topical design news from the young designers. Class journal for E-mentoring

  12. E-Mentoring D & T • Year 10 present Pod cast and post on the VLE • Year 13 view Pod Cast through the VLE • Year 13 leave feedback for Year 10 • Pupils communicate through the class journal

  19. 10 good ways to use the VLE to support learning: de Ferrers Specialist Technology College • Add past exam papers & mark schemes • Upload podcasts / podquizzes • Make use of forums to start discussions & get students to help each other • Add weblinks/webtrails to direct them to broaden & deepen their studies • Use votes & surveys to get student views

  20. 10 good ways to use the VLE to support learning: de Ferrers Specialist Technology College 6. Submit & mark homework online 7. Track research for projects using ELFs 8. Save class notes/IWB charts/quizzes in file boxes 9. Use RSS news feeds to point them at current news/events in your subject 10. Display movies from You Tube, Clipbank, and class presentations

  21. SOME FURTHER IDEAS: • Staff surveys & Support/CPD resources • ILPs • Clubs & Groups – blur home/school boundary • Self-assessment quizzes – eg, Hot Potatoes • Clipbank • Flash learning games/projects

  22. Staff e-learning survey de Ferrers Specialist Technology College SECTION 1: Confidence in using ICT for e-learning 4 = very confident, 3 = quite confident, 2 = OK, 1 = Never really used it • Most staff seem much more confident using the ICT resources they have. • Key priorities for 2008 – 2009 are: • Interactive Whiteboard training, especially for faculties that haven’t had them before • More training in using My Classes, in and out of lessons • Some sessions on SIMS?

  23. Staff e-learning survey de Ferrers Specialist Technology College SECTION 2: How well could ICT support Personalising Learning in your area? 1 = strongly disagree, 2 = disagree, 3 = unsure, 4 = agree, 5 = strongly agree • There were very few staff who felt these ideas were not of some use. The most popular areas were use of games, quizzes & concept maps. • Key priorities for 2008 – 2009 are: • Further training on using Hot Potatoes to produce revision/review quizzes • Training on using free concept mapping software & Real Smart • Look at purchasing/making ICT learning games for staff to use in lessons with students

  25. Individual Learning Plans (ILPs) • Last year – trials with Y7/Y10/Y12 • This year – phased in for Y8/Y9/Y11/Y13 • Templates devised by A+G staff • NTDLs help put them onto VLE • Students access templates and fill in during sessions in morning tutorials • Filled-in templates saved & displayed in an online portfolio for form tutor to access/add reflections to, as needed de Ferrers Specialist Technology College

  31. Learning Games de Ferrers Specialist Technology College • Flash e-learning games & activities produced ‘in house’ by a web designer • Students use them in lessons and at home to support active learning and self-assessment • Multimedia-rich and interactive • Export games to the learning platform

  32. Why do we need a new VLE? • Current system not developing quickly enough • de Ferrers wants to stay ahead of the game • Limited support • Current system is slow, it limits large file downloads, not very user friendly • We need real-time editing & links to learning resources • More exciting system – get student engaged more – better AFL opportunities - creativity • Parental engagement and reporting

  33. FINAL THOUGHTS: de Ferrers Specialist Technology College • SATURATION - Offer students a wide choice of resources to learn from – Blitzkrieg approach! • DRIP FEED - Keep chipping away at staff to encourage use, suggest ideas, experiment… • Develop a TEAM to support all staff in setting up pages & learning tools – booster sessions? • ENCOURAGE staff to share ideas at meetings • ASK students – what do they want? Get them involved: Demand Supply
