Learning Platforms in Hampshire

ICT and LP Consultant
Whose responsibility?
• Whole School– In secondary schools this is a Senior Leadership
Team responsibility not ICT Subject Leaders.– In Primary schools an ICT coordinator with strong
support from Head teacher.– Should have a teaching and learning focus not
administration or network management.– However, on the ground consultation and support
using e-learning champions are essential.
Drivers for Learning Platforms?
• DfES e-strategy – Harnessing Technology• Early adopter schools are using these technologies and
realising new ways of working with real benefits• Every Child Matters – need tools to help teachers
manage differentiation and personalising of learning• Self Review – Parental voice and involvement• Information for administration, communication, tracking,
teaching and learning is in danger of becoming too dispersed and not present at the point of need
• Online (browser based) anytime, anywhere training, teaching, learning, communication and collaboration is becoming ubiquitous outside schools
Learning Platform Benefits
• Parental involvement• Anytime, anywhere learning• Personalised learning• Better use of teaching time• Supply teacher effectiveness• Collaborative working• Cross-institution courses - flexible curriculum• Lifetime e-portfolios• Pupil inclusion• Preparing learners for working life
What are Learning Platforms?• A lot of confusion
– Learning Management Systems (LMS)– Virtual Learning Environments (VLE)– Content Management Systems (CMS)– Learning Portals– Course Management Systems– Personal learning space– e-Portfolios– Managed Learning Environments
• Becta are responsible for providing a framework agreement for procuring Learning Platform services – Learning Platform functional requirements– Learning Platform Interoperability Specifications– Learning Platform Functionality Matrix– Accredited suppliers list due in Spring 2007

• Not the DiDA e-portfolio
• The e-portfolio could possibly include:– Showcase or Presentation Portfolio– Qualification or evidence Portfolio– Learning or Development Portfolio– Lifelong learning Summary Portfolio– Transaction Portfolio
• Definitely a work in progress
Quotes from the DfESWe will not impose our view of what the technology should
provide. We need to listen to people’s views, and ensure that technology meets their needs. In this way, we make the
most of what ICT can offer.HARNESSING TECHNOLOGY 2006
However the … functionalities that industry providers must be able to deliver to be included in the framework agreement do
not also serve as a list of functions that schools … must purchase in entirety. Schools may choose any combination of functionalities … list[ed] to suit their needs. They might
even choose functionalities not currently listed, as part of their need or ‘Statement of Requirements’, that companies from the framework would then be challenged to deliver …

Where next - LA• IT Services provide free web hosting or a Schools Website Service
via their content management system for online update of templated web sites – ITS are investigating hosting Moodle for schools to trial.– Discussions are underway for a proof of concept pilot of a learning
platform including integrating commercial content, simple MIS connectivity and single sign on.
• LP Consultant appointed to help inform schools, develop plans and keep the LA informed of the status of National and local LP practice developments– A project manager is to be appointed to manage larger scale piloting of
fully integrated Learning Platform services leading to the possible procurement of services from an integrated service provider
• The HIAS ICT team have a Moodle which any ICT teachers can join. This means the team has developed their understanding of these technologies which informs their support of schools– The ICT team will be looking to provide working exemplars of how to
integrate content from schools and publishers within a learning platform– Other subject advisory teams need to gain experience to understand
how the technologies would best apply in their subjects
Where next - schools?• Audit your current status in ICT across the curriculum and in
administration for your Self Review– Becta ICT Self Review Matrix (especially element 6)– Becta Learning Platform Functionality Matrix
• Include in School Improvement Plans a LP Statement of Requirements (SoR)
• Pilot first steps• Monitor and evaluate• Small steps - low financial risk• Becoming informed• Culture change
• Pilot higher order LP functionality• Monitor and evaluate• Embedding practice• Integrated Service Provider ISP
(RoI/VFM)
• Contact early adopter schools to see good practice, learn from their experience and possibly piggy back on their Learning Platform
• Contact the Local Authority via either the Help Desk or Colin McQueen [email protected]
• Do some researchmoom.oodles.org.uk - Look for link to Learning Platforms area.
