  3. Employer Engagement at WKC WKC is currently delivering to a variety of employers who require who require flexible delivery

  4. The Demand for Flexible Delivery Learners want to learn at a time and place that suits them not the College. How can we maintain a rich interactive experience between teachers and learners …?

  5. The Interactive Web • First generation web enabled passive delivery of materials • Second generation web tools enable asynchronous two way communication e.g. • Blogs • Wikis • Video/ Image Sharing • Web video/voice conferencing Second Generation web tools can deliver high quality interaction between teachers and learners.

  6. Building Courses around Interactive Web Tools • Challenges for staff • Learning the new tools • Writing assignments to exploit new tools • Challenges for the learners • Learning the new tools • Some technical challenges – does it all work? • Corporate Firewalls • Remote support

  7. Case Study - The Army A group of Army catering personnel join the Foundation Degree in Hospitality

  8. The Army challenge • The learners are highly dispersed often in different countries. • Limited IT skills • Teaching team had little experience of interactive web tools. • Learners returning to learning needing close tutorial support.

  9. Training & Tutorial Support • Blogs : Ice breakers and PDP • YouTube – video tutorials • MSN – a tool for tutorial support • PDP – Blogs and Wikis

  10. Delivering Content As well as PowerPoint and other office docs … On-line videos of sessions with full time students … Home grown YouTube clips that have achieved success far beyond WKC.

  11. Assignment Setting and Grading • Electronic Assignments issued through the VLE • Grades/Feedback reported through the VLE

  12. The Student Experience “I have enjoyed sharing my experiences and knowledge with the rest of the course.” “some issues with IT at work ... hardware would not be out of place in a museum” Over the past year I have received help and encouragement from many of the team, our little band the brothers. “Well, I'm over the moon - I've passed my first assessment!!!!”

  13. The IQER “The use made of the virtual learning environment to enable students to develop, review and update their personal development plans, and to enable staff to deliver, support, monitor and assess students' progress with their plans is a feature of good practice” Integrated Quality and Enhancement Review(IQER) is a review method specially devised for higher education in further education colleges “Students use web-based tools to undertake appraisal of their academic, career and personal skills, and set long and short-term targets” “The use of the virtual learning environment for assessment was recognised as an area of good practice"

  14. Lessons Learnt • Take time to induct students into how it all works • You are not always in control of the technology – when it lets you down have a back-up plan. • Not everybody will feel comfortable with technology based interaction.
