Supporting Professional Development Using the VLE in the PGCE/Certificate in Education

This is a case study into E-Learning Practice in the area of HE in FE. Funding was provided by DeL (JISC's Distributed e-Learning Programme). These case studies are intended to illustrate good/innovative practice in the delivery of HE in FE using e-learning. It concludes that e-learning coupled with close professional relationships between all parties can provide an innovative experience for various learners. The fact that the material is online is not paramount to success and technology itself can cause problems but with good liaison and support it can offer any time anywhere access for students and empower them with skills immediately transferable in their own classrooms as teachers.
