“Sapientia” A Teaching Platform
"Summative assessment must not lead the curriculum or dictate the pedagogy used to teach it." • The N.U.T Curriculum Working Group • Bill Rogers • Ofsted • David Willetts (Conservative: Education) • Professor Paul (Assessment for Learning) Black
The Gilbert Report 2006
The modern digital-age student has different experiences BUT ALSO DIFFERENT SKILLS. We might value them and exploit them: turn them to advantage.
VLE: Changes what goes on in learning by giving new skills somewhere to live.
Intended outcomes of the secondary curriculum • Specifically, the curriculum is intended to help young people to: • have and be able to use high-quality personal, learning and thinking skills (PLTS) and become independent learners • have increased commitment to and enjoyment of learning leading to participation to 19 and beyond.

The evolution of NELE • 1 Why? • 2 Who? • 3 What? • 4 Where now?
Obstacles • Course creation – automatic? • Data inaccuracy • ‘Analogue’ timetable ‘fudges’ • “I’m not very good with ICT” (SLT) • Initiative time-out! • Fear of de-skilling • “Shared-docs” syndrome
You could do this • Survey all students for ICT ‘penetration’ • Accept small but sustainable • Set the bar low at first – but it is a BAR! • Coax VLE into performance management via School Development Plan and CPD • Use students • Have a trained ‘rep’ in each department • Buy electronic resources – (SCORM)
Unlikely to work... • Competing with Facebook • Not considering how to back up and roll-over your courses in advance • Not explaining to the data bunny how the VLE relies on stable and accurate data • Not setting ground-rules for staff on how to set VLE based homework • Not cracking the YouTube issue (KeepVid?)

First Point: Change ANYTHING, and you change the dynamic of the learning. Technology shapes opportunity. Second Point: The modern digital-age student has different experiences BUT ALSO DIFFERENT SKILLS. Value them and exploit them: turn them to advantage. Third Point: The kit is just where we START. Learning is our professional arena. Retain your expert judgement.
