  1. E-LEARNING AS A PROJECT OF CULTURAL CHANGEIan Chowcat – Project Director

  2. This is South Yorkshire…..

  3. £72m investment 38,000 learners 150 schools and libraries 450 SMEs

  4. 13,000 plus pieces of kit 21,000 individuals getting qualifications 1 VLE – shortly turning into a learning portal

  5. “The focus has shifted to an interpretation of the project as a vehicle for cultural change using a significant IT implementation programme to facilitate it, rather than primarily an ICT programme” SQW Year 2 Evaluation report

  6. Cultural change = doing things differently – but why should people and organisations change?

  7. If e-learning is a vehicle for changing the culture of education, who (or what) is the driver?

  8. But if e-learning is of only instrumental value something else is driving cultural change.

  9. Is the driver educational theory….or social change?

  10. Avoid technological determinism….

  11. …and social and educational utopianism

  12. Interact Communicate Transactions Find information Plan and book trips Grab resources Download media Play games Share What matters is what people are doing with technology…

  13. ….and how they are changing society - and themselves

  14. Education should change because people are using it to change the way they work and live

  15. It’s about what we teach as well as how we teach…..

  16. ….digital natives need teachers

  17. So, e-learning is about change: • People and society not technology and educational theory • Curriculum rather than pedagogy • The social and economic relevance of education, not raising attainment • Rich life chances in a digital world, not technophile utopianism
