The research suggested:
needs to be simple and quicknarrative rather than check boxesinternal rather than external benchmarkingmust be a ‘tool plus’
and in July...a new OfSTED FrameworkHandbookGuidance
We reduced the e-learning contribution down to 10 headingsWe took the language of OfSTEDWe derived a formula for Impact and brought it all together....

The three laws of impact if Sir Isaac Newton had been an e-learning champion instead…..
First LawMomentum in teaching remains constant until someone tries something differentSecond LawThe amount of energy and enthusiasm in effecting change will only have effect when it is stronger than the desire to hold the status quoThird LawWithout commitment to doing something different there is no consequence

If we had not set up a campus wide WIFI system, students would not have been able use their own devices to support teaching & learning (entitlement 6)
