Context • Abingdon and Witney College – general FE College 10 miles from Oxford • 5 campuses and students from HE to SLDD • Staff with a range of IT and e-Learning skills

This is what we have done • LSIS action research grant kick started DALLI • Senior management backing and a cross college steering committee • Student focus groups led to annual learner voice conferences • DALLI was mandatory but students received a 2G memory stick on completion CLC Photography CC
This is what Senior Managers did • 2010 – Mandatory e-Learning CPD and 3 standards for IT Skills and e-Learning • ALL new staff self assessed IT Skills • Formalised the e-Learning Coordinator role and allocated additional time for 6 e-Learning Advisors for staff development • Dedicated area for e-learning
