The South Yorkshire e-Inclusion Projects
Full text linkIn July 2007 the South Yorkshire e-Learning programme approved investment in a series of one year projects designed to test and support use of technology to address social and educational exclusion and to identify ‘what works’ and support the adoption of this effective practice. By e-inclusion, we mean the use of appropriate digital technology to provide access to personalised learning for those isolated from the mainstream educational system. It was recognised that inclusion, even without the ‘e’, is a complex agenda with significant variations reflecting local partnerships and specialist learner groupings such as Looked After Children, hospital and home services and Pupil Referral Units. Effective projects would therefore need to be localised and specialised. However, it was clear that similar challenges of practice, effectiveness, empowerment and sustainability are experienced across the range of inclusion and re-engagement services, largely irrespective of partnership or client group. Furthermore the practitioners are often professionally isolated on account of their specialisms and the nature of their mission. They often lack the critical mass to share practice, to solve systemic problems and to access value added funding. The South Yorkshire e-inclusion projects were therefore explicitly structured to take both the specialism and common ground in to account. Each of the four local authorities was invited to plan and manage its own localised project or projects. These projects were then brought together within a formalised model for collaboration and evaluation. It was this wrap-around function, a model of collaborative self-help, which sparked the journey described here

Full text linkEducational Technology and Related Education Conferences for June to December 2015
Full text linkThe 33rd edition of the conference list covers selected events that primarily focus on the use of technology in educational settings and on teaching, learning, and educational administration. Only listings until December 2015 are complete as dates, locations, or Internet addresses (URLs) were not available for a number of events held from January 2016 onward. In order to protect the privacy of individuals, only URLs are used in the listing as this enables readers of the list to obtain event information without submitting their e-mail addresses to anyone. A significant challenge during the assembly of this list is incomplete or conflicting information on websites and the lack of a link between conference websites from one year to the next
