The on-line tutorial: developing and evaluating resources and disseminating experience

This is an ESCalate development project awarded to Kerry Shephard, University of Southampton in 2005. It looked at developing practical approaches to integrating a range of commonly available e-learning tools to facilitate wider use of the On-line Tutorial in staff development settings. The aim of this project was to implement and assess the value of an online tutorial within staff development scenarios which are themselves encouraging e-learning engagement. Four tutorials were developed, each one addressing a different issue relating to the use of ICT (information and communication technology) in teaching: factors that limit the use of ICT to support student learning in UK HE, use of ICT to support widening participation, teaching strategies for e-learning, and a simulation of online student assessment.
