NIACE and the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS) are pleased to announce a new series of events as part of the E-Guides training programme.
After another successful year of the E-Guides training programme, which has seen the total number of trained E-Guides reach over 2,500, the training programme forms part of the eCPD programme funded by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS) along with the Professional Development Advisers (PDAs) eCPD programme.
What is the E-Guides eCPD?
The E-Guides eCPD is a three-day blended training programme which aims to increase the confidence and competence of staff in using technology to deliver learning, teaching and support services. It commences with a face-to-face day, followed by a day of online learning activities accessible through the eCPD Online Learning Space (OLS), and concludes with another face-to-face training day. The E-Guides eCPD complements the PDAs eCPD.
The objectives of the training programme are to:
- explore the role of E-Guides;
- develop skills in the use of technology to enhance teaching and learning;
- consider and plan models of cascade training, coaching and mentoring;
- provide E-Guides with resources for developing e-learning with their colleagues in their organisations.
Who can be an E-Guide?
The training is aimed at all staff, paid and unpaid, in the learning and skills sector who are involved with the delivery of learning across different subjects and areas of learning. This includes staff from Learning and Skills Council (LSC) funded learning providers in voluntary & community sector organisations, Workers’ Education Association, staff in offender learning and skills, work-based learning organisations, local authorities and FE colleges.
E-Guides need to be confident in their use of ICT, enthusiastic about e-learning, willing to champion change and able to work well with colleagues. E-Guides are expected to cascade their e-learning skills and knowledge across their organisations by contributing to the development of their colleagues’ e-learning skills.
