Professional Development Advisers (PDAs) eCPD training

PDAs eCPD is a free training programme for staff with responsibility for driving the use of technology in teaching and learning. Click here for details of the PDA training content

Places for 2009/2010 courses have now been filled. However if a colleague in your organisation or partner organisation has already received PDA or Advanced PDA training, part of their role is to cascade training and support within their organisation. To find out who the PDA or Advanced PDA is to arrange in-house training and support, please enquire internally or post a question via the OLS Forum area.

An online multimedia resource version of the PDAs eCPD programme will also be available in 2010 for supported self study on the Online Learning Space. Further details will be available in due course.

Read the ICT Skills Briefing article to find out how the eCPD programme is helping a selection of PDAs and their colleagues to better embrace technology in teaching and learning.
