OER Schools Conference - Policy Workshop, Josie Fraser DigiLit Leicester
On 29 January 2015, Leicester City Council, in partnership with De Montfort University, held a free day conference for schools focusing on finding, using, creating and sharing Open Educational Resources (OER).

During the panel session, Josie Fraser reviewed the permission provided by Leicester City Council to community and voluntary controlled schools, and discussed how schools can take advantage of this.

Todays news in your classroom - Rapid Authentic Text Lessons using Technology
Using authentic texts in the classroom is widely accepted as best practice.
However, there are a number of challenges associated with the sourcing and annotation
of authentic texts, not least that it is a time consuming and labor intensive activity.
Two of the key tasks for an educator preparing an authentic text are:
(1) sourcing a text at an appropriate level of difficulty for use with ESL
students, and
(2) annotating the key learning points in the text. This
practice based presentation will focus on innovative ways of sourcing
authentic texts on the internet and creative ways of annotating
authentic texts for use in the classroom. In this session we will show
educators how to create lesson plans using authentic texts in less than 10mins.
Bells, Whistles and Digital Tools for the 21st Century CatechistCaroline Cerveny
So you know you should be using Digital tools in your ministry! Yet, we find so many excuses to stay in our comfortable world. What steps do I take as a catechist to get on board with what the Pope has referred to as the Digital Continent? In this ever evolving collaborative and digital communications world, how do I stay abreast with what is happening all around me? With a limited budget, how do I stretch it to include technology? Where do I start? How do I share my success stories? Is Digital Discipleship and Digital Citizenship important today?
Teachers of Students with Visual Impairments (TVIs) often teach in itinerant settings with limited access to resources and ongoing training. Use of communities of practice provide the missing link to access essential tools and information for professional development.
What are the characteristics of a modern learner and how can we use technology to enable them to learn effectively? This presentation was given at the recent Sundial L&D Thought Leader's Conference at Highgate House. Given by Andy Stopps, Director of e-Learning at Maguire Training.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Unlocking e-resources
Finding and using the Aladdin’s cave of free Jisc resources and support
Why bother? ..And what’s it got to do TechDis?
Image shows 5 types of resource that can be used for teaching:
Text, images, audio, video and interactivities. These five headings are spaced equally around a series of concentric circles. The next 4 slides will plot lines from the middle to the outer circle, the length of the line being proportional to how learners with different disabilities value resources in that format.
VI learners find it easiest to access resources in audio (or well narrated video)
Dyslexic learners benefit from resources in image, audio, video or interactive formats. They don’t cope so well with text resources.
Deaf learners prefer resources that are visually rich (images and video – so long as there’s not too much info conveyed in the narration). Interactivity can also be beneficial.
People with learning difficulties may prefer image, audio, video or interactivities over text resources.
Putting the 4 different graphs together we find it is printed text that is the least favoured resource for many people with disabilities.
Yet when we look at typical teaching resources, printed text in the form of handouts or books often dominate – so disabled learners have their least favourite medium for most of their resources.
The Discover Jisc project sought to address this by unearthing the excellent repositories of alternative media that Jisc has paid for and made freely available to the sectors.
All your PCs, Macs and Laptops can speak web pages, documents, ebooks etc
With quality English voices.
For no cost
And your learners can download them for their personal use.
www.jisctechdis.ac.uk/voices.
Under the Getting started part of the Discover Jisc website (www.jisctechdis.ac.uk/discover_jisc) we point to a range of excellent collections and – for each of them – answer the questions
What is it?
How can I use it?
What else do I need to know?
Do I have access to it?
We also explore issues around access –
Open Athens, Federated Access Management, Shibboleth and Eduroam?
We translate these concepts into plain English explaining what they mean and how you can find out if they apply to your teaching context.
We cover copyright issues to help you understand what you can and can’t legally do with these free resources. In plain English we help make sense of copyright and point to useful resources that can answer any deeper questions that remain.
We describe each of the main Jisc Advisory services and why they can be useful to you. These include:
Jisc Digital Media
Jisc InfoNet
Jisc LegalJiscmailJisc Netskills
Jisc RSCs
Jisc TechDis
Another section of our website emerged from the Discover Jisc project – how to make everyday practice more inclusive: You can
have access to free staff development resources.
Provide better support without having to spend more money.
Provide better experiences for everyone.
Find out about recommended free tools and free text to speech voices to go with them.
Another area of the Discover Jisc site has step by step guides – worked examples – of using technology and Jisc resources to create inclusive teaching and learning across 7 different teaching themes in contexts ranging from work based learning to ACL, AS to Level 1/2. The step by step guides cover
background, resources, tools, training and many other themes.

Whilst Jisc might supply an Aladdin’s cave of treasures you need to engage with them to get any benefits. The resources unearthed in the Discover Jisc project include 46 resource sites covering thousands of images, videos, sound clips etc, 17 guidance/advice sources, dozens of downloadable accessibility guides and 33 free tools to use.
