 Swansea ITeC is delighted to have once again been shortlisted for the Becta Next Generation Learning Awards 2010. These awards reward all types of learning provider in the FE and Skills sector and seek to identify those across the whole system who are fully confident in the use of technology.
ITeC was recognised for our extensive use of Web 2.0 technologies with learners to encourage reflection and collaboration, along with our first steps into the use of ePortfolios and our rapidly growing use of Moodle.
The case study of last year’s entry is also still available online, and our use of the social bookmarking tool Diigo, featured in the winter 09/10 edition of the WBL Wales Newsletter.
ITeC have also offered training for other Work Based Learning providers in the use of these tools, and will be presenting at Moodle Wales User Group Forum in Llandrindod Wells on the 3rd March to talk about the impact this has made.

"The printer's not working again!"
It's a familiar cry, in one form or another, in every office that uses computers. Followed closely by, "Why does it keep doing that?" and, "Does anyone know how to..."
Often the person to the rescue is not a specialist but another employee who just happens to know a bit more about IT than their co-workers and so has become the informal "techie" for the entire office.
Every printer jam, virus infection, email error and lost file becomes a major disruption to their working day. The money saved by lack of spending on ICT support and training suddenly dwindles in comparison to the wasted time and lost work.
"Time is money" may be a cliché but it's one that holds true in the world of computing and investment in efficient technical support and quality training is an essential ingredient.
Consider the increase in productivity if every ten minutes spent figuring out how to insert a table into Microsoft Word was spent inputting the data instead. Or a virus infection that was cleaned in minutes instead of hours because everyone understood the importance of to correctly using and keeping their antivirus software up to date...
See our Support Section for details on how Swansea ITeC can supply technical training or support contracts to keep your business running smoothly. |
