Why do you think that is?
They have access to more inhouse materials created by their staff
Departmental strategy and local management commitment
Poor ICT skills in other parts of the college
Quality of the leadership at Dept. and team leve.
Individual lecturers expertise and avaliablity of online material
focussed staff, awarding body requirements submit.x=50
Material availability and staff responsiveness
Enthusiasts, support taken up, external body requirement, skill level, resources available
Enthusiastic staff and nature of the curriculum is aided by visual presentations and on line quizes
Dedicated teaching staff who are aware of the needs of the younger students.
ICT Champions in this area promote following remission from teaching
The academic nature of the College does not lead to extensive use of ICT,not even Computing.
Cross college approach - centralised purchasing and facilities.
Proactive, enthusiastic area co ordinator
Staff skills and awareness of possibilities
Technical expertise and course content demands
We offer only these subjects to all of our learners
Computer based programmes are the key for ICT and used for some students in SfL
Management promotion, equipment availability, staff motivated
easy to access resources, enthusiastic staff
No accredited mainstream courses - not appropriate
Because our students physical disabilities mean they need ICT to access all areas of learning
Engaged with support and opportunities of ILT/RBL/e-learning strategy and/or level of ICT skill ; ac
The subject and the programme manager respectively
Previous ILT Champions and staff who have a history of engaging with ILT and staff development
Prior IT skill set and early experience of VLE's
ILT Champions and materials availability
Better access to equipment, tutors motivation
Usage is mainly down to individual lecturers
They are interesed and other external factors .eg HE requirements demand good skills
Their own technical competence and interset. Age profile too.
Enthusiasts (among staff) leading the way
Tutors enthusiasm + large quantity of material available through the internet
Key Skills - online testing, staff enthusiasm
availability of learning material, keen 'Senior Tutors', obvious benefits of multimedia in subject
Strong leadership and relevance to curriculum
Enthusiastic teachers acting as promoters of ICT
Higher technical ability of the staff and a modernising approach from lecturing staff and management
Becuase the industries are all based around this and ESOL support this type of approach
Staff Knowlege, skills and access to resources
PEdagogical fit with technology available
Academy Directors and/or curriculum managaers have bought into the overall College strategy & vision
ICT is 'built in' to Computing and Engineering by virtue of the subject matter.
partly to do with the curriculum, partly specialist software and enthusiasm of tuturos

Which curriculum areas are the lowest users of ICT and e-...
Motor Vehicle, Engineering, Performing Arts
Sport, public services, catering, management
Science, Creative Arts, Health Care and Computing
None of our curriculum areas could be described as the lowest users
work-based learning (in some areas), A level provision
English, Health / Social Care, Maths, Fine Art
English, Modern Foreign Languages, History
Drama, Catering, horticulture, animal care
Technology, A/AS levels, Art & Design, Performing Arts and Tourism

Why do you think that is?
The division is new and e-learning materials still need to be developed
because classes are part time for a few hours per week and do not necessarily involve the use of ict
little time on curriculum. Do not want change
Low local management commitment, not seen as priority within area
Lend themselves more to traditional Teaching
Practical areas, staff skills and confidence, however, all improved by at least 20% last year
may be a link to age profile of some course teams!
Sustainable innovation due to changes in management
Limited time for teaching staff to develop skills
Staff skills and awareness of possibilities
More traditional staff/excellent results without ICT
Lower relevance of ICT in course content
Other skill factors play a more important role in this curriculum area.
Ability of learners to engage with equipment
older staff who don't understand technology
Some older members of staff, and curiously some very new teachers with extremely low ICT skills
ICT Skills/confidence;limited access in classrooms
Lack of some staff confidence in use of ICT
The study subject is a long way from the subject of ICT itself
use plenty of kit but not necessarily e-learning systems such as the college vle.
More lessons performed in practical environment
Little investment and no real centralised management
Usage is mainly down to individual lecturers
access to ICT is limited and time, staff skills/confidence
consistent access to resources, delivery by part-time or unenthusiastic staff
Students & staff don't like being infront of computers
Low exposure of staff from industry to IT
Staff reticence to start and commit the time. Age of staff.
A lack of knowledge about e-leanring & resources available / Unwillingness to change teaching style
They have found this approach to be very beneficial
Lack of facilities/llack of enthusiasm/lack of skills
Staff Knowlege, skills and access to resources
Lack of staff confidence in using IT with students
Lack of exposure, non-classroom based training
Lack of buy in or inclination to drive forward the College's ILT agenda
More 'face to face' human commincation is required (e.g. ESOL)
lack of staff enthusiasm and lack of IT facilities
lack of exp and skills of tutors and students in some cases
