Supporting professional development using the VLE in the PGCE/Certificate in Education

This case study is based in Coleg Glan Hafren and focuses on the Post-Compulsory Education and Training Programme franchised from the University of Wales, Newport (UWN). This is a case study into E-Learning Practice in the area of HE in FE. Funding was provided by DeL (JISCs Distributed e-Learning Programme). These case studies are intended to illustrate good/innovative practice in the delivery of HE in FE using e-learning. It concludes that e-learning, coupled with close professional relationships between all parties, can provide an innovative experience for various learners. The fact that the material is online is not paramount to success, and technology itself can cause problems, but with good liaison and support it can offer any time anywhere access for students, and empower them with skills immediately transferable in their own classrooms as teachers. It is presented as a final project report of some 10 page
