Kristena Gladman, Howard Errey Item 4a: Teacher E-learning Toolkit – work through recommendations Item 4b: Teacher E-learning toolkit v2 Item 4c: Commonly used Applications and Tools for VET

Recommendations

1. The changes now incorporated into the new draft versions of The VET Teachers E-learning Toolkit, and its companion document, Commonly used E-learning Applications and Tools in VET be accepted.

2. Consideration be given to combining the two documents into one.3. Consideration be given to simplifying the Commonly used document to

make it more accessible for teachers (or producing an separate more teacher friendly version.)

4. Consideration be given to setting up a live website so that the documentation can become self- sustaining through community input. This could include a forum, RSS feed or community platform, a voted top 10 learning tools, a grid reference for each tool linked to examples of practice and potential mentors. This site could also provide workflow solutions through the use of a combination of tools.

5. The Toolkit document marketing be reviewed to explore the potential to reach deeper into the VET community.

Recommendations

6. Investigation be undertaken with a view to commissioning a national project if appropriate to develop policy and technical guides for the use of social networking tools ( e.g. Facebook) encompassing privacy and security issues as well as best practice.

7. Exploration be undertaken of the possibility of establishing a project to establish frameworks and guidelines for the use of diverse mobile devices including student BYO ones and including the overall workflow issues for an institution especially in terms of assessment tracking. This could be considered on a cross sectoral basis.

8. The particular needs of rural and remote learners be further considered especially in terms of providing support for comprehensive technology and e learning strategies.

9. Projects that report on the policy, technical, security and standards issues associated with moves towards cloud based solutions should be cross referenced with the Toolkit documentation.
