On February 5 2009 the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS)
launched its new eCPD Programme, which has been designed to improve and
enhance teaching and learning through effective use of technology. The
launch, which was attended in person or remotely by a total of almost 300
delegates, combined keynote speeches with a choice of 20 workshops
showcasing technologies and case studies.
Welcoming the launch conference, Siôn Simon, Minister for Further Education
at DIUS said, “At the heart of the eCPD Programme are people on the ground:
particularly the network of facilitators and professional development advisers.
Their skill and know-how, combined with the commitment of individual
providers, will take the sector forward in its use of technology in teaching and
learning.”
Supporting whole organisational approaches to using technology for learning is
also key and an essential feature of the programme. Another is the
recruitment of several hundred Professional Development Advisers (PDAs) who
are being trained to champion teaching approaches in their own organisations.
The next cohort of PDAs will commence training on 31 March 2009. Providers
are invited to nominate a member of staff by 9 March by completing and
returning the PDA nomination form available at http://ecpd.bdplearning.com.
The keynote speeches from the day and selected workshops will shortly be
available online from http://ecpd.bdplearning.com.
