If not Generator...Too big and complexOut of date rapidly becauseit evaluated against systems not behaviour

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

The double-negative statementWhat would not have happened if we hadn’t done this

If we had not introduced Moodle, 20 of our students on long term sickness during the term would not have been able to stay on course and on track. (entitlement 4)

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)

Choose one (or more) Tools and use until the middle of MarchNext week, we will arrange for permissions etc.

Comment in the threads/journals/fora/blog around the following:•The structure•The text•Ease of collaboration•What works well•What is missing•Simplicity/Complexity

Complete a final assessment in the last two weeks of March
