  2. FETT and IT • Slow but gradual shift towards incorporation of more elements of IT • As an aid to T&L • To demonstrate how trainees can use with their learners • Expectation/pressure from BIS & LSIS that we incorporate blended learning • Misunderstanding of the cost implications of using blended learning?

  3. Background to tablet project • Consortium for PCET – Capital expenditure distributed across the partnership; shift to tablet PCs • Spring 2011 – distributed one of each (i-pad + Galaxy Samsung) per centre • Asked to explore use of the tablets • Steering Committee required an evaluation of use

  4. The Study • Outcomes of the initial survey revealed a clear distinction in the use of the technology that seemed to be related to perception of the advantages and limitations rather than the actual facilities. • These ranged from those who : 1) responded to the challenges of technology and were able to harness it; 2) were interested in using the technology but needed considerable support; 3) used the technology for personal use only; 4) were overwhelmed by the actual or perceived barriers and resigned themselves to non-use.

  5. Survey 2013 • Initial survey from 2011 - results used to determine focus of questions. • Interviews – semi-structured. Undertaken by 2 people (one joint). Pilot interview. • Total of 9 – 2 not centre managers

  6. Summary of results • Use of tabs – small hesitant steps. • No evidence of technological determinism 3. Evidence of aspirations for future use 4. Support from institutions – varied but improvements c.f to 2011 5. Laptops – used differently; smartphones – becoming accepted as a learning tool 6. IT in FETT – essential to use with trainees for the course and to prepare them to use with their learners 7. Guide on use of Tablet PCs for FETT

  7. Explosion The metaphor of the explosion - the experience of most of those interviewed. image source http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2777/4078738436_6d331ab1b6_o.jpg
