Technology for learning in the FE and Skills sector
Cathy Ellis, Director, Improvement, Becta
on behalf of Becta and LSC
BETT 08Thursday, 10 January 2008
The starting point
There is increasing evidence that the use of ICTcan:• Help raise educational standards• Enable institutions to manage their business more
effectively• Personalise learning• Enable institutions to streamline processes.
Key messages from the evidence
• Realising benefits is dependent on ‘embedding’
• Institutional/provider-level change is required to realise full benefits
• Learners of all ages are enthusiastic about learning using technology
• Effective investment in technology delivers results.
However ….
We are not yet fully exploiting the benefits of technology for all learners.
Institutional e-maturity* is developing more slowly than general technology adoption and use.
*E-maturity – is the capacity and capability of individuals and organisations to exploit the power of technology to improve educational outcomes.
Becta, 2007
