The diagram below illustrates the objectives of the Rotherham Grid for Learning in a view of the ‘learning world’ that extends beyond the classroom and traditional places of learning into the community and the lives of individual citizens.
This approach to learning can result in collaborative and cooperative work that will potentially transform the uptake of ICT in the everyday life and business of Rotherham. The challenge for the Rotherham Grid is to identify and to achieve tangible examples of this vision beyond the scope of the local authority. For example:
Who will be involved in the broader learning community? |
Where and how will this community access these services? |
What services will achieve the critical impact? |
In addition to schools:
Parents
Community learners
College students
Work based learners
Hospital based learners
|
At home
At nursery / early years venues
In the community centre
In libraries
Through school & CLC facilities
At college
From work
In hospital
Through a mobile facility
|
Collaborative tools from discussions to virtual classrooms
e-Learning support such as Mentoring
Repository for learning resources and document delivery
VLE for e-learning management
Learner & employer work experience support
Managed ICT services through ‘server farm’
|
This undertaking will involve extensive partnerships, innovative service models and flexible supply chains. The ICT Sub-group therefore recommends that these challenges should be addressed at the earliest opportunity in the form of pilot services that demonstrate the boundaries of this endeavour and establish the underlying issues.
