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
Summary • Senior management backing is the key to success • It takes time to change the culture for staff and students • Training and support for students and staff must be readily available • Constant review keeps the process viable • Questions? Ellen.lessner@abingdon-witney.ac.uk
