NIACE is pleased to announce a new series of events as part of the E-Guides training programme.
The E-Guides 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. The programmes are designed to support effective use of technology in teaching and learning across the whole learning and skills sector, and fulfil part of the Institute for Learning's (IfL's) 30 hour (or pro rata) continuing professional development (CPD) requirement. The programmes form a cornerstone in the delivery of the employability strand of Becta's: Harnessing Technology for Next Generation Learning.
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.
About the E-Guides training programme
The E-Guides eCPD is a three-day blended training programme, which commences with a face-to-face day, followed by a day of online learning activities accessible through the eCPD Online Learning Space (OLS), and concluded with another face-to-face training day.
The programme aims to:
- increase the confidence and competence of staff in using technology to deliver learning;
- consider and plan models of cascade training, coaching and mentoring; and
- provide E-Guides with resources for developing e-learning with their colleagues in their organisations.
