This workshop explored a self-assessment tool for Recording And Planning for Technology in Action, called RAPTA. There was an opportunity to explore the potential of the tool, and find out how it links to your organisational Self Assessment Reporting (SAR) processes, Quality Improvement Plan and the Ofsted Common Inspection Framework (CIF). There were also activities using the tool to encourage self assessment of effective use of technology and sharing of good practice with technology.

June 27, 2013 | slide 14

15. Illustrations for C9

share disclosed learner information with teaching staff
involved in the learners’ course or programme
 Teaching staff arrange to teach and support learners on-
line as part of their course or learning programme
 Hand-held and mobile technologies are supplied to
teaching staff to support the delivery and administration of
learning
 Staff are encouraged and supported to seek out
communities of interest beyond the organisation
June 27, 2013 | slide 15

16. Illustrations for C9
 Teaching staff’s confidence to experiment with technology
is positively encouraged and there is a good awareness of
their support needs in terms of the hardware and technical
support
 Learners are able to submit assignments on-line in a
variety of ways
 Back up paper-based processes are being reduced so
technology replaces rather than adds to administrative
processes
 Appropriate and effective use of technology is included in
lesson observations, review and feedback
 Staff support learning and its administration through social
media
June 27, 2013 | slide 16

17. Questions 10, 11
 How effectively is technology used to contribute to
the process of providing accurate, timely and
useful information, advice and guidance
 How does technology help with the take-up of
support and the monitoring of the progress of
learners receiving support?
June 27, 2013 | slide 17

18. How technology can help
 Initial assessment software helps to identify
particular learner need and support
 Social media such as Facebook is utilised to
provide informal self-help groups
 E-ILPs assist in monitoring the progress of the
learners receiving the support so that all staff with
a role in every learner’s progression are able to
see and contribute
 Learners are enrolled into specialist support areas
on the VLE or similar learning environment
June 27, 2013 | slide 18

19. How technology can help
 Both teaching staff and the learner are able to
contribute to the ILP by way of comment and
target setting
 Electronic registers help teaching staff to monitor
the take-up of support
 Social media is used to allow an immediate
reporting process, in confidence, where help is
required to which at least two members of staff
have access
