Description:

 

The Future of Blended and Distance Learning
in Further Education and Training
A Major National Conference
Wednesday 14 November 2012 - Central London
 
At a time when colleges and providers need to offer more innovative and cost effective models of delivery to a wider range of learners there is an ever-growing demand, from not only the learners themselves, but from employers and the funding agencies, to be able to access more flexible, non-traditional, “non classroom based” education and training opportunities.
 
This conference will examine current institutional and partnership models of blended and distance learning, the benefits to learners, the challenges for colleges and providers and their importance in the delivery of knowledge and skills for specific programmes including Apprenticeships, employer based training, Pre-Employment courses, Adult and Community Learning and other full and part-time programmes across the post 16 and 19 plus Sectors.
 
The conference will also include a review of current funding formulae and their implications for colleges and other providers. The day will include presentations and discussions on:

  • Blended Learning – What it is and Why it is Important?
  • Identifying and Addressing the Current and Future Funding Implications
  • Developing a Coherent Strategy for Implementation and Delivery
  • Planning the Curriculum to Increase Participation via Effective Partnerships
  • Developing Appropriate Employment and Pre- Employment Focused Materials
  • A College Case Study of Blended and Distance Learning in Practice
  • New Learning Technologies Including Online and Interactive Models of Learning
 
The day will be led by BEEJ KACZMARCZYK, Sector Training’s Principal Consultant who is nationally recognised for his expertise on post 16 funding and planning. The conference will also include presentations from curriculum planning expert, Ainsley Cheetham, ICT consultant, Dave Foord and Sandra Furby, Director of Learning and Development at Tribal.
 
The event fee is £229 + VAT per delegate
