Unpacking the eLearning Planning Framework: Leadership and Teaching and Learning dimensions.

Background reading, thinking and organisation:


Learning more about and understanding the eLPF is the focus of my 2013 professional inquiry, so it makes sense that I read as much as I can about it.  I researched on the eLearning pages on TKI and decided to focus just on the ‘Leadership’ and ‘Teaching and Learning’ dimensions this time.  This web page outlines and unpacks each aspect of these dimensions: Within ‘Leadership’ there are three sections - School vision; strategic planning; eLearning leadership.  Within ‘Teaching and Learning’ there are five sections - Curriculum, Learning Areas, Digital Citizenship, Pedagogy and  Assessment.  I then created a Google Drive folder  in order to make ongoing reference to the relevant resources easier.

Each focus within a dimension has these section headings: Discussion starters, Principals and school leaders, Teachers and Practical Steps.  There are lots of good questions to ask and many that would challenge some teachers. e.g. ‘How do you adapt the curriculum for your students’ strengths and needs?’ and ‘What might it look like when students are managing and reflecting on their own learning through the use of technologies?’

Reading about the eLPF dimensions in more depth has given me a better sense of  the eLearning direction needed in schools and has also provided more ideas for staff meeting discussions
