What does the Research tell us?

Anyone who teaches online needs to have some first-handexperience as an online learner to understand what it means tolearn this way

The importance of clear directions, well organised materials,timely feedback, deadlines and good technical support becomesapparent as an online learner.

I don’t think you can learn how to teach online by attending aClassroom workshop – even if it involves hands-on activities. Itsnot the same experience and doesn’t prepare you properly

Imperial College Staff presentation - 2007

“ISA finds itself in a unique position to play a leading role in developing education through digital media.

ISANet will make a major contribution to achieving

• excellence in pupil attainment,• teaching standards and • parental outreach

over the next 3 years and I want us to develop ISANet as an ISA strategic project. I firmly believe we should not waste this valuable opportunity to establish a leading position in the independent schools world”

John Gibson, Head of Stoke CollegeISA Annual Conference 2009

To succeed we all have to take the first steps together

and these first steps need to be easy
