learning & e-learning
The government has announced far-reaching proposals
for a new e-learning strategy which will have significant implications
for teaching and learning, from nursery through to adult education
and CPD (continuing professional development). E-learning is often
confused with distance learning, which suggests a disconnect between
teachers and students and a lack of active and face-to-face collaboration.
In Edumate the teacher-student relationship is vital, and
information & communication technology is used to facilitate
and enhance relationships further, between teacher/student, student/student,
teacher/parent etc. Every school and every teacher has their own
style of teaching, and each student has their own way of learning.
Edumate promotes diversity in teaching by providing teachers
with the tools they need to plan lessons & curricula, and provide
resource materials appropriately. The system also empowers students
to plan their learning, monitor their achievement and widen their
skills & understanding. Lesson plans and assignments can be
made available on-line, and students can submit their work and receive
feedback from teachers.
A complete range of reporting functions is available through diagnostic,
criterion referenced and outcomes-based assessment mechanisms, supporting
both National Curriculum reporting and schools' own assessment methodology
and pedagogy.
