What does success look like? Teachers have developed some outstanding and innovative e-learning materials where learners use three-dimensional camcorders to record assessments and prepare projectsLearners use the colleges virtual learning environment extensively to support their studies and to develop their independent learningTeachers and students make extensive use of the electronic tracking and monitoring system to promote students progressEfficiencies and effectiveness11/07/20165

What does success look like? Learners are highly effective independent learners. The measured and skilful use of information and learning technology, with engaging virtual learning environment sites in many subject areas stimulate learners to carry out research outside the classroom. Information technology resources are modern and exceptionally well used in many subjects by both lecturers and learnersStaff monitor and track learners progress closely and, using this information, successfully encourage learners to aim for high gradesEfficiencies and effectiveness11/07/20166

What do our learners expect now?http://bit.ly/FEdigitalstudentoutputs11/07/2016Supporting your learners digital experience5

I expect college to provide free access to a range of digital devices, services and software. I want to be using the software Ill need at work.

I want support in moving beyond the basic functions of software and systems, and using things effectively

Ask us what we need - we might just surprise you. I dont feel the college genuinely engages us in decisions about technology

I want teachers who are digitally skilled, confident, and willing to hand over control to us to use familiar technologies in class

I expect modern, easy to find learning resources. How about making screencasts or videos available on the VLE?

Support supports and staff with their digital capabilityEnsuring that students are digitally capable has to be considered as one of the key employability goalsStaff in colleges need to be adept and confident in using technology themselves before they can improve their students digital capabilities How are you assessing your learners digital skills? How are all staff developing their digital literacy/capability? See Jisc Digital Capability service for guidance - http://bit.ly/1VW8QOe

Lewisham Southwark College -created its own blended learning centre to give staff and students opportunities to use a range of different devices and, with more than 100 apps to choose from, theres a specially tailored blending in online course to help staff exploit opportunities to develop their own blended learning resources.

Deliver a robust flexible environmentColleges should endeavour to make their systems easy to access and to provide a safe, secure and seamless online environment within which students can learn with support for BYO devices

South Staffordshire College - 200 ChromeBase machines into LRCs; they boot up in less than five seconds, require little to no maintenance, never slow down and they use 60-80% less energy saving 35k per year

City of Liverpool College - transforming the digital environment: resilient and robust systems and services With an ambition to encourage students to bring their own (BYO) devices, the college recognised the strain that this would put on its existing network and it became the first FE college to sign up to Jiscs shared data centre for education and research. The move is ensuring staff and students enjoy fast, reliable access to data from anywhere, via the cloud. The college has also become a Microsoft Academy to give its community of learners and staff access to Office 365 and all the Microsoft Academy teaching and learning materials.

These steps have enabled it to launch SharEd, a shared service that will accelerate the transformation not just of teaching and learning but also of a range of management systems. It will also make possible a range of efficiencies via partnership working and increased purchasing power. BYO has now been implemented, supported by a system of equipment loans for those without their own devices and by investment in skills development for both staff and students.

East Berkshire college has also provided staff and students with training in use of the devices and upgraded its wireless network to ensure that it has sufficient capacity for these hundreds of devices as well as for many more devices that will be deployed by students themselves. Training was provided for staff on the use of the new devices and systems, supplemented by staff surgery sessions. The ILT content developers have extended the training to help staff and students.

Deliver a relevant and inclusive digital curriculumEmbedding digital activities and assessment opportunities as part of the curriculum sets the expectation that students will use technology throughout their studies

One FE College has adopted and embedded a flexible model, utilising technology to promote and encourage independent study, which has led to 12% improvement in success measures alongside 250K annual savings in delivery

PETA Training and Consultancy Services staff are learning to create videos and interactive activities using tablets, and ensuring that learners have easy access to these via QR codes and augmented reality software in hotspots within engineering workshop areas.Level 2 and 3 engineering apprentices gain experience of how employers in engineering industries are using the latest digital equipment to support their workers. Oldham College is working with Edge Hill University to provide learners with more meaningful and detailed assessment and feedback via videocasting. Its an approach that has already proved its worth at the university and this experiment is aiming to replicate those benefits in an FE setting. Its life-changing technology. Thats the view of dyslexic Leeds City College student, Craig Clements, on Texthelp Read&Write Gold, innovative software that has helped Craig represent the college student body and is now helping many other students achieve their learning goals. City and Islington College developing online content to support the curriculum Keeping safe student induction modules In response to the Prevent agenda, in summer 2015, City and Islington College produced a suite of online modules to cover key aspects of student induction and to ensure a standard approach to delivering core information. The suite of four modules was created in-house by the e-learning team and includes safeguarding and child protection, e-safety, values and radicalisation. The modules are all delivered through Moodle. Redbridge College blending the classroom in maths education Maths staff at Redbridge College identified a need to improve the way that the maths GCSE course was delivered, so worked with the e-learning team to create a year long blended learning programme. Effective use of the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) has enabled them to create a curriculum that is less reliant on paper-based resources and instead uses a flipped classroom model with all course materials available online. Resources are interactive and staff have employed a variety of apps that can support understanding of tricky concepts and enrich student-teacher interactions. Working on tablets, students can capture and share their work instantly to get immediate feedback.

The majority of teachers pay close attention to the diverse range of learners starting points and abilities in planning challenging activities, including very good use of information learning technology (ILT) that enables them to accelerate their learning. Most teachers make excellent use of ILT to support learning; learners frequent use of tablet computers enables them to access relevant course and research material and to work well independently.

Supporting Staff Nishall Garala"Thank you for your lunch time support sessions. I particularly enjoyed Weebly session as I was then able to support my students creating their websites. I would have found this difficult to learn so quickly if I had to do this myself particularly as my learning style is auditory and therefore very helpful that you were talking to me telling me what to do as I did it rather than me have to read or watch to learn.
