Staff need to be able to

E1 Help learners continuously develop their use of ILT

E2 Support learners to enhance their performance in using ILT.

E1 Help learners continuously develop their use of ILT

To do this, staff

• establish the knowledge and skills learners require to use ILT

• accurately identify learners’ current levels of knowledge and skills and what they need to learn in order to use ILT effectively

• use appropriate, effective and efficient strategies and techniques to help learners develop the knowledge and skills they need to use ILT

• provide learners with practical opportunities to apply their knowledge and skills in using ILT.

This requires critical understanding and essential knowledgeof:

the range of current ILT available and emerging trends

how to use the range of ILT

the range of practical opportunities available for learners to apply their knowledge and skills in using ILT, and how to provide them

the range of appropriate strategies and techniques to help learners develop the knowledge and skills they need to use ILT.

E2 Support learners to enhance their performance using ILT

To do this, staff

a. promote the principle of learners continuously enhancing their performance in using ILT

b. encourage learners to take a systematic approach to continuing personal and professional development through ILT

c. use appropriate tools and techniques to identify learners’ emerging needs to enhance their performance in using ILT

d. encourage learners to access appropriate resources and support to enhance their performance in using ILT.

This requires critical understanding and essential knowledgeof:

• the importance of continuously developing performance in using ILT

• the resources and support learners need to enhance their performance in using ILT

• the range of enabling technologies available to meet diverse learning needs.

Standard G4 – Develop and adapt ILT materials to support learning [LLUK E-learning NOS D]

Staff who carry out this function may be developing ILT materials for themselves or may be collaborating with subject, authoring and design specialists. They need to establish the requirements for ILT materials in terms of content, learning objectives and learning strategies. They need to develop and agree the technical specifications for the materials.

They then need to design and develop prototype ILT materials in line with the specifications, test the materials with a representative group of users and deliver them to the commissioners as appropriate.

This requires staff to have a generic knowledgeof:

• how to draft clear, concise and comprehensive specifications

• the importance of checking with commissioners that specifications fully meet their requirements, and how to do so

• the importance of obtaining acceptance by commissioners of finished materials, and how to do so

• the range of subject, learning and design specialists with whom the member of staff must collaborate.

Staff need to be able to:

• D1 Plan and structure ILT materials development

• D2 Develop design specifications for ILT materials

• D3 Design ILT materials according to specifications

• D4 Evaluate the effectiveness of the designed materials in use.
