The HE Context “Harnessing Technology”
DfES Priorities
 An integrated online information service for all citizens
 Integrated online personal support for students and learners
 A collaborative approach to personalised learning activities
 A good quality ICT training and support package for practitioners
 A leadership and development package for organisational
capability in ICT
 A common digital infrastructure to support transformation and
reform.
The HE Context “Harnessing Technology”
Technology offers more than access to information…

E-learning allows a new relationship with learners to develop. It takes them beyond
the confines of the traditional classroom, extending collaboration….

Encourage every institution to offer a personal online learning space to store
coursework, course resources, results, and achievements…for each learner, so that
education organisations can support an individual’s progression more effectively.
Together, these facilities will become an electronic portfolio, making it simpler for
learners to build their record of achievement throughout their lifelong learning.

Technology also allows a new relationship between education and employers.
