1. RESPONDING TO INSPECTION Developing a strategy for using ILT to raise quality in Maths

2. Flexibility A customised learning experience to meet your needs Recognition of the different needs of learners A need to lead appropriate methodologies from the front How are we using e-learning

3. Leadership Principle centred What does college see as its mission? What are its values? Are students at the heart of what we do?

4. Why should the SMT and governors be aware of new technologies? e-learning can support an innovative culture It can upskill staff American research demonstrates that 40% savings on course delivery can be achieved New funding opportunities, collaborations Inclusion and accessibility Retention and achievement

5. Strategic planning The cycle needs to have e-learning centre stage The College Development Plan Ensure e-learning is solving the problems that the College faces. Is it included in the self assessment report? What drives your systems?

6. How are Colleges measured? Retention and achievement - Success rates Financial viability Widening participation/skills Reputation in the area Inspection

7. Retention and achievement Ensure e-learning has a positive impact on retention and achievement Is IT integrated into the teaching and learning strategy? Our maths experience

8. Financial viability The curriculum costing model New funding opportunities through e- learning

9. Widening Participation IT reaches learners where other methods fail The traveller community Laptops Bromley Learning Bus Learndirect

10. Reputation New technologies sell the College Learning online for existing students The medium is the message Are you leading edge?

Using ILT in Maths Aims: To promote use of ILT resources to enhance teaching and learning in Maths To promote use of ILT resources to enhance teaching and learning in Maths To provide a forum for the sharing of resources and ideas across maths departments within colleges To provide a forum for the sharing of resources and ideas across maths departments within colleges

13. Why we use ILT in Maths To visualise concepts To provide opportunities to learn by discovery within time constraints To provide a variation in teaching/learning style To diagnostically test students at enrolment

14. Software that we use Digitalbrain (VLE) MathsbuilderAutographInternet Microsoft Word and FXdraw Microsoft Excel Microsoft Powerpoint

15. Future Developments Extend use of VLE All rooms fitted with projectors Home produced resources Better use of the internet Improving current home produced resources

16. Digitalbrain VLE (Virtual Learning Environment) To provide an effective way to organise resources To provide an effective way to organise resources To allow students access to resources any time, any place To allow students access to resources any time, any place To provide markbooks accessible to staff and students any time, any place To provide markbooks accessible to staff and students any time, any place To provide online testing, automatic marking and entry into markbooks To provide online testing, automatic marking and entry into markbooks

17. Digitalbrain – Evaluation Current facilities are very reliable VLE is a powerful tool Still in developmental stages

18. Summary Virtual communities develop learning and improve communication Focus on the benefits to the learner Respond quickly to changes in the market place Success rates in Maths moved in two years from 50% to 90%
