1. Digital LiteracyDigital Literacy, defined by JISC (2012) as:
those capabilities which fit an individual for living, learning and working in a digital society
The three contributions of learning technologies in FE are:
1. Preparing learners for living and working in a digital society
2. Developing skills for self-employment, not just employment by othersThe skills required for self-employment are the skills of confident and successful interaction with everyman. These are also the skills employers want.Prepare people for the demise of the Office: the way we do things and what we no longer need to do. Ie. The modern world
3. Encourage learning as a life-long habit
Examples
Availability of
Social Media
Changing met
hods of submi
tting work for
assessment
Increasing self
-management
of learning

2. Personalisation
The ability of technology to allow each learning journey to shape itself around the context, circumstances, preferences, and demands of individual learners, such that it feels personal
From Technology for the Many
Many People, One Application
To Technology for the OneOne person, Many Applications
Examples
Using technolo
gy to support
needs and tast
es
Fitting study a
round other c
ommitments
Using technolo
gy to overcom
e impairment

3. Collaborative learningThe ability of technology to make learning appear as an ongoing series of conversations and exchange of ideas that shape understanding, making learning more interesting, perhaps surprising, richer, inclusive and, in the process, develops the soft skills and broadens horizons
Collaborative learning is not cheating.The sharing of answers without understanding the thinking to get there.Sharing the thinking to help each get to the answer (which may be different)Learning to work together and relay on others to pool strengths: a critical employment skill!
Collaborative activity is doubted learningSo students develop scepticism and skills of critical thinking and ability to weigh reliance on others
Examples
Web quests
Group Work at
distance
Assigning differ
ent aspects of
a topic

4. Divergent thinking
RSA animate - Changing Paradigms - Sir Ken RobinsonFollow this must see presentation later athttp://tinyurl.com/RSADivergence
Using the custom features of technology to allow learners to explore personal ideas, take journeys into what interests them, and support learners coming to different conclusions and ideas through their capture and debate of ideas. It is not being creative as such, but supports creativity by coming to understanding through novel, sometimes innovative routes that might otherwise have been lost or discounted.

5. Pace and ProgressionIs not teaching and learning, but concerns the use of data management to give warning of inability to maintain the expectation of progress and outcome, set by the teacher, based on the efficiency of the programme and the ability of each learner to learn. The former is course admin, the latter is learner commitment.Pace and Progression concerns the use of technology to know expectations are being maintained.
OfSTED says teachers and managers have high expectation for learners, not technology has high expectation.
So...Teachers decide where the student should beTechnology tells them if they arent there

Collaborative Learning
The three pillars of e-learning

1. The ability to access learning and teaching from outside college at times to suit the student 2. Able to contact a tutor for help between set agreed times 3. Learners are able to submit work remotely where the course allows it 4. Students can continue to learn during periods of agreed absence 5. Staff and students can bring their own hardware and social media sites to their teaching and learning 6. Where desirable, learners will use their own software and hardware to access teaching, and demonstrate learning. 7. Learners will have access to a range of specific and wider learning resources in support of their specific and general learning 8. Students will have a sense of learning being tailored to meet their personal needs and preferences in collaboration with course tutors, equipping them with skills for self-employment 9. Each learner will have access to on-line personal learning space. 10. Using technology will add to the sense of belonging to a unique community of social living & learning

Obliquity
If we build a house beautiful enough, God will want to live here.
In a nutshell, it is better when chasing complex goals not to go straight for a manufactured result. Better to build around it and have the desired result appear as a natural outcome.

We were digital immigrants and some natives Success with technology is reliant on the amount of kit available Implementation of a central system that all follow is the goal Technology can ensure everyone follows a controlled learning experience Evaluation is a measurement of ticked boxes describing processes Teachers can be instructed how to use software Progression with technology is the responsibility of the IT Manager Direct technology application will lead to direct improvement in results
