ELT Learning Outcome 2

Embedding Learning Technologies (ELT)

Outcome 2: Analyse

As part of Outcome 2 you will have "Analysed opportunities and constraints in using C&IT and selected C&IT appropriate to the learning situation"

This will include evidence that you have:

Analysed the leaning needs of students and identified appropriate technologies on the basis of educational principles, resource availability and constraints, taking into account discipline-related and local factors

This might involve you in:

conducting a student needs analysis
conducting a critical review of a current course to identify strengths and weaknesses
carrying out an access audit and considering ways of widening access through the use of C&IT
analysing the learning implications of C&IT policies and provision in your institution
conducting an audit of C&IT available to your course, programme or department
evaluating strengths and weaknesses of various applications or resources for use in a specific context
consulting with appropriate people in the institution (e.g. technical staff) or external bodies (e.g. an LTSN Centre) on your choice of learning technology
running a short pilot with a small group to gauge the suitability of a particular technology
undertaking a survey of other institutions to establish what is being used effectively in similar context

You might evidence this outcome by:

a written student needs analysis or audit
an audio tape of a discussion with a member of your faculty support team
a report and recommendations to an appropriate committee
a module outline with suggestions for technology-based improvements
notes from a discussion with current students and/or staff
a list of technologies with pros and cons, and conclusions on their suitability
a flow diagram of the process that someone in your position could follow in order to make a decision
copies of email communications which demonstrate external advice you have taken
