Different types of VLE

Once you learn to drive a car, you can quickly get used to a

different make.

How we use the VLE to support learning is more important than

being an ICT expert.


Technology College VLE my a**e…!

Phase 1

I’d love to use the

VLE more but it’s

making me tear my hair

out…!

Learning Platform developments: VLE

Several years experience already – admin fully electronic – no paperwork! Staff trained to use VLE for communication, notices, QA, cover

All subjects now covered with pages & resources at KS5, most at KS4 and some at KS3 – system makes it hard to track use & map out everything

Expanding more into KS3/4 to pick up other subjects, more clubs and groups

Increased diversity of activities being used by various staff, including support staff

Developing ‘new’ VLE (Frog) for September 2009 – will allow parental access to data – more creativity.

10 good ways to use the VLE to support learning:

1. Add past exam papers & mark schemes

2. Upload podcasts / podquizzes

3. Make use of forums to start discussions & get students to help each other

4. Add weblinks/webtrails to direct them to broaden & deepen their studies

5. Use votes & surveys to get student views


Technology College

10 good ways to use the VLE to support learning:

6. Submit & mark homework online

7. Track research for projects using ELFs

8. Save class notes/IWB charts/quizzes in file boxes

9. Use RSS news feeds to point them at current news/events in your subject

10. Display movies from You Tube, Clipbank, and class presentations

SOME FURTHER IDEAS:

Staff surveys & Support/CPD resources

ILPs

Clubs & Groups – blur home/school boundary

Self-assessment quizzes – eg, Hot Potatoes

Clipbank

Flash learning games/projects

Most staff seem much more confident using the ICT resources they have.

Key priorities for 2008 – 2009 are:• Interactive Whiteboard training, especially for faculties that haven’t had them before• More training in using My Classes, in and out of lessons• Some sessions on SIMS?

SECTION 2: How well could ICT support Personalising Learning in your area?

1 = strongly disagree, 2 = disagree, 3 = unsure, 4 = agree, 5 = strongly agree

There were very few staff who felt these ideas were not of some use. The most popular areas were use of games, quizzes & concept maps.

Key priorities for 2008 – 2009 are:• Further training on using Hot Potatoes to produce revision/review quizzes• Training on using free concept mapping software & Real Smart• Look at purchasing/making ICT learning games for staff to use in lessons with students

Individual Learning Plans (ILPs)

Last year – trials with Y7/Y10/Y12 This year – phased in for Y8/Y9/Y11/Y13

Templates devised by A+G staff NTDLs help put them onto VLE Students access templates and fill in during

sessions in morning tutorials Filled-in templates saved & displayed in an

online portfolio for form tutor to access/add reflections to, as needed

Learning GamesLearning Games

• Flash e-learning games & activities produced ‘in house’ by a web designer

• Students use them in lessons and at home to support active learning and self-assessment

• Multimedia-rich and interactive

• Export games to the learning platform

Why do we need a new VLE?

• Current system not developing quickly enough• de Ferrers wants to stay ahead of the game• Limited support• Current system is slow, it limits large file downloads, not very user friendly• We need real-time editing & links to learning resources• More exciting system – get student engaged more – better AFL opportunities - creativity• Parental engagement and reporting


Technology College

FINAL THOUGHTSFINAL THOUGHTS::

1. SATURATION - Offer students a wide choice of resources to learn from – Blitzkrieg approach!

2. DRIP FEED - Keep chipping away at staff to encourage use, suggest ideas, experiment…

3. Develop a TEAM to support all staff in setting up pages & learning tools – booster sessions?

4. ENCOURAGE staff to share ideas at meetings

5. ASK students – what do they want? Get them involved: Demand Supply
