Extended Schools / Flexible Learning

Tideway School (opening October 2008)

Extended Schools/Flexible Learning ICT Pilot Project

Proposal

•The pilot project will involve delivering 1 unit within the ECDL/Level 2 IT User Certificate to all Year 11s during Term 2 (2008), as an online option.

•An introductory whole year group session in the assembly hall will launch the project with a presentation being made by the lead ICT teacher, supported by teaching and non-teaching staff.

•Further lessons will be available online, with students completing them either in school or from a location that has Internet access, at a time that might not be within the normal school timetable.

•Teaching staff will be available in lesson time for 1-2-1 and small group support. They will also offer online support to students, supported by an e-moderator assistant.

•All students will take the formal online assessment test by the end of the term.
