Reasons for development

The aim of the project was to

  • Overcome issues relating to physical possession of an ILP –
  • e-ILP will be stored in an electronic format accessible by the learners, the course tutor and subject teachers
  • Provide an interactive media within which learners can communicate with their tutor and the teaching team and where the staff can leave comments and feedback about targets, coursework etc
  • Highlight links to course materials depository and Blackboard site (possibly integrating aspects of Every Child Matters e.g. www.talktofrank.com)
  • Provide anytime-anyplace communication and access site for all involved in the delivery of the course – with potential to enable access to stakeholders such as parents without the need for additional reports)
  • Allow learners to take ownership of the process of target setting and have the ability to update/ report on each target as and when they want, not just in a scheduled tutorial
  • Explore the possibility of other communication media such as SMS/ E-Mail powered by data stored electronically
