B Powell


“Effective learning through technology takes place when... a learner finds a place at a computer or other device, which works without problem at a speed that does not cause concentration to be broken, accessing an engaging and pedagogically effective set of materials, supported appropriately by suitable staff, and benefiting from social engagement with others.”

A vision for e-learning


Effective practice

• Effective practice with e-learning should involve the same decisions we make about effective practice in any form of learning, that practice should,

Engage learners in learningEncourage independent learning skillsDevelop skills and knowledgeMotivate further learning
