abstract |
This paper explores the use of ICT to provide distance training for UK Open University
(OU) Associate lecturers (ALs) and identifies the range of outcomes and issues which
emerged. There is an increasing demand from many of our students for the University
to provide more facilities and functions (both administrative or course-related) online
or by electronic mail. To this end the University has attempted to increase the awareness
of these computing-related issues with ALs by offering various methods of increasing
ICT skills. One programme involved a contingent of ALs participating in an online
short course. This paper will summarise some of the qualitative feedback along with
the quantitative results in order to establish whether this course did indeed assist
in tutors gaining some new computing skills. Furthermore, tutors made many additional
comments about the process of learning and the experience of being a learner. Many
of the issues raised were found to be important when designing a programme of study
for those who take courses as a form of staff development. |
