eStrategy Why? What if we decided to do nothing? To enhance eTeaching and eLearning
Wha t is the Pro b le m? • Learners performing poorly – the worst in the world? • Learners from poor communities performing more poorly • Learners not having appropriate skills • Learners are disengaged, disinterested and not active learners, with little curiosity and thirst for knowledge • Teaching corps insufficiently skilled for effective world- class teaching • School leavers not adequately prepared for the 21 st century world of work and life-long learning
e L e ar ning Game Change r Vision Effective integration of ICTs into teaching and learning activities that promotes deep learning experiences for learners that will lead to… • Improved learning outcomes • Better prepared learners for the 21st Century world of work and life-long learning.
From Broadband to eEducation • WCG Broadband initiative – Four streams Schools’ Broadband connectivity by end 2016 • Implications for eEducation • • Vision for eTeaching and eLearning (2014-2024)
From Broadband to eEducation The Process Vision for eTeaching and eLearning (2014-2024) • Research • • KPMG (2011) • BMI-T (2013) Costed Scenarios • • Detailed Plans – budgeted for and being implemented Road Map and Delivery Chain M&E Methodology • as part of WCG Game Changer Strategy
From Vision to Strategy • Broadband, high speed, free connectivity CONNECTIVITY to all schools in WC (WAN) • WiFI LANs • 100% Instructional spaces • All delivery areas are SMART SMART • Technology-enabled environments • Access to central repository DIGITAL • ePortal (wcedeportal.co.za) RESOURCES • Online resources 24/7, User-centric LEARNER TECH. • Hand-held devices for all learners • Flipped classrooms eventually (Selected Pilots)
PROGRESSION MAP From: bound controlled classrooms To: always connected, anytime, anywhere access From: consumer of digital resources To: Designer – builder - creator - sharer From: Passive learning To: collaborative - self paced – From: Traditional teaching self determined learning To: Supporting – mentoring – facilitating - e-pedagogies From: Proprietary software To: Freeware - learning objects - Apps From: Wired LAN To: Wireless LAN - WAN - Cloud From: one-to-many To: one-to-one; many–to-many; networked teaching /learning From: Computer labs To: Classroom technology – Laptops - Mobile devices - Hand held devices
THE PLAN Scenario 1 Schools progressively will receive a LAN, upgraded lab and 40% of instruction rooms will be smart classes. And some schools will be assisted to install LANs.
