ECDL for Educators, Curriculum Online
ICT training programme achieves Curriculum Online accreditation
The ICT teacher
training courseware, which made headlines when it was launched due to its
education-specific content, has now achieved Curriculum Online accreditation.
ECDL for Education Courseware from Aston Swann can now be purchased with
eLearning Credits (eLCs) enabling pupils as well as teachers to work towards the
internationally recognised ECDL qualification.
According to the
British Educational Suppliers Association (BESA), there are still £83 million
of eLCs that need to be spent before the end of August 2004.
Now that Aston Swann has been accredited as a Curriculum Online
registered retailer, teachers will be able to spend eLCs on ICT training which
will enable them to feel confident in not only teaching ICT in the classroom but
in teaching the ECDL for Education Courseware to their pupils.
Debbie Skyrme,
Education Programme Developer, Aston Swann, commented, “We are delighted to
have been awarded Curriculum Online accreditation, which will give teachers the
opportunity to spend their funding on an ICT training programme. We firmly
believe that teacher skills lead to pupil skills, and schools can now invest in
ICT training through ECDL for Education Courseware for their teachers and
pupils.”
ECDL for Education
Courseware comprises seven modules with a classroom focus providing teachers
with the confidence to take ICT into their lessons. The courseware also has additional Pupil Projects that allows
teachers to take the programme into the classroom for their students in a
context that is relevant to them. Creating lesson plans using a word processor,
managing classroom data using a spreadsheet and searching the Internet for
classroom resources are just a few of the very practical skills that can be
acquired. Once the teacher feels
competent with ICT they can then deliver the ECDL for Education Courseware to
their pupils.
