This study will draw on our existing experience of delivering online staff development to illustrate the potential value of Virtual Learning Environments for this purpose. The study will include:

  • a summary and analysis of current delivery models
  • a survey of appropriate tools and VLEs
  • recommendations of possible future delivery strategies.

The findings of this study will be presented in three ways; through reports, workshops and an online training course. The reports will be made widely available and will be actively disseminated through projects such as TALiSMAN, TLTSN and LTDI. Two face to face workshops are planned and these will provide a forum for further discussion of the findings of the study. The reports and supporting materials produced will be made available as a self-study online course. The main author for the report will be Dr Colin Milligan colin@icbl.hw.ac.uk. Colin is also a trainer within the TALiSMAN project responsible for their online courses.
