E-ffective Teaching

The case studies, resources and materials on  this site offer ideas for improving current practice and support the future development of e-learning in the ITT curriculum.

Research conducted by the LSDA and taken forward by the Learning and Skills Network (LSN) has identified an increasing need for resources that support CPD and innovation in teacher education. With this need in mind, nine institutions were funded by the LSC between November 2004 and March 2005 to transform an area of their teacher training curriculum through the application of e-learning.

The E-learning Teacher Training Transformation project aimed to:

• identify what works and why;
• establish what CPD support and resources are needed for new and established teachers;
• develop skills, knowledge and understanding;
• provide participants with the opportunity to explore a range of models, tools and techniques that would enable them to successfully embed e-learning in their ITT programme areas;
• address areas of quality improvement, e-learning and the inspection process;
• enable staff to develop and produce new teaching and learning resources;
• identify and overcome barriers to embedding e-learning in ITT.

The materials produced for this project link to the e-learning Continuing Professional Development (eCPD) framework and are in line with the new LLUK professional standards for teachers, tutors and trainers, the requirements for QTLS, and the government’s e-learning strategy.
