What makes for successful digitally enhanced learning?
Education Scotland’s ‘Features of highly effective digital learning, teaching and assessment in school’ document outlines the features of high-quality digital learning experiences for all children and young people. It highlights the importance of highly-skilled staff who work with children, young people and others to ensure digital learning is motivating and meaningful.
The infographic below shows each feature and how they relate to the learning, teaching and assessment cycle. You can also download this document to utilise the embedded links to support staff development.
We have a number of tools available to support your assessment and progress in the use of digital tools to support and enhance learning, teaching and assessment.
What should highly effective digitally enhanced learning look like?
To support all schools and settings on their digital improvement journey, a suite of ‘core expectation’ documents detail the expected and desirable practices. These documents should be used by leaders and practitioners to ensure core practices are in place within and across all classrooms and spaces.
A full audit tool that looks at all areas of digital use can be downloaded and used by schools/departments to assess how good they are against the 4 Key areas identified by Education Scotland: Planning, Teaching, Learning and Assessment.
The tracker shares examples of what highly effective practice looks like to allow staff to reflect and plan for next steps in the improvement journey. This data then results in a visual overview chart an example of which can be seen below. This Numbers document can be downloaded here or found in the folder at the bottom of the page. (please note: You will need to use your iPad to fully utilise this. )
