Dear Colleague

“E-Guides: Lead by example” National Training programme

NIACE, in conjunction with the National Learning Network partners (NLN) 
is now recruiting for the national E-Guides Staff Development Training 
programme.

What is the E-Guides programme?
The E-Guides staff development programme has been designed to support 
Adult and Community Learning staff in embedding the use of e-learning 
across the curriculum. If someone is learning in a way that uses 
information and learning technology they are using e-learning (Towards 
a Unified
e-learning Strategy Consultation Document DfES, July 2003). Information 
and Learning Technology (ILT) is cross-curricular and refers to the use 
of technology to enhance all teaching and learning.

The programme aims to increase the use of e-learning in Adult and 
Community Learning through developing the skills and knowledge of
E-Guides to support colleagues from all subjects in their use of 
technology in teaching and learning. E-Guides will be able to 
contribute to raising the quality of teaching and learning throughout 
their organisation.

How does it work?
Within each Local Authority and former External Institution, Heads of 
Service/Senior Managers are asked to identify individual members of 
staff who can be trained as E-Guides. Staff may also self-select but 
must seek support from their line manager.

Events are planned throughout the country, and will take place between 
September 2004 and March 2005. There will be five events per region.
The programme takes place over three days. Days 1 and 2 are 
consecutive, and Day 3 brings groups of E-Guides together in a Regional 
Workshop
which takes place four to six weeks later.

If you, or a member of your organisation are interested in 
participating please go to the website address below to get further 
information on how to apply to become an E-Guide.  Dates and locations 
of the first year of training events can also be found on the website.
