Online Learning and Training for Educators
... I would now say that I am an advocate of on-line learning, I feel it has much to offer to students of all ages. It accommodates a range of learning styles, facilitates the display of information in many formats, helps to highlight weaknesses in students learning, as they use the platform to seek advice on aspects they have difficulty with, and we as tutors will have a record of this.

Principals and managers take note! The sky's the limit with e-learning and there is nothing to stop the tidal wave of interactive networking. It's out there ready to go!
(Dara MacCoille, Colaiste Feirste)
Many of the pupils who participated in the online lesson really enjoyed the use of the new technology and found this new way of learning more enjoyable. Pupils who would be regarded as 'under achievers' relished the prospect of learning online and demonstrated throughout their enthusiasm and willingness to learn and progress.

The future? ...Who knows, perhaps I'll be teaching from home for some of the week instead of at school, maybe the students will begin to extend their learning to outside of the constraints of the classroom and begin to see each other as valuable a resource of information as their teacher.

As a self-confessed "technophobe”, I always knew this course would be challenging, however, I was surprised to find it both highly engaging and motivating. I see the potential online learning has to animate my subject and to enthuse my students.

The online course has been a challenge however it has massive potential in our schools. Pupils will no longer be restricted to only accessing subjects taught within their schools.
(Sarah Guthrie, Foyle and Londonderry College)
