eLearning Vision

The Victorian government site eLearning and ICT must be an especially useful resource for Victorian teachers who have access to the multitude of links, online resources and planning templates. However, one resource available without a teacher login is the planning matrix and associated template detailing the five essential elements of elearning. This would prove a very useful tool for schools who are reviewing or developing a strategic plan for ICT.

1. eLearning Leadership: establishing the vision and supporting the implementation and change management
2. Learning, Teaching, Assessment and Reporting: improving and extending learning opportunities through integration
3. ICT Professional Learning: how do schools plan, implement and evaluate effective professional learning so that teachers can improve ICT skill set
4. Learning Places and Spaces: the design and maintenance of IT resources and infrastructure as well as learning spaces
5. Learning Communities: extending learning beyond schools into the local and global communities

The matrix allows schools to evaluate their current position on a continuum in each of these areas and then make strategic plans for improving ICT integration.
