How do we know that our eLearning plan will be
successful and lead to greater student learning and school
transformation?• Find an established, conceptual framework that clearly
addresses effective learning for school planning• Create an eLearning ‘overlay’ to guide the use of ICT
in an effective schools framework• Develop a Professional Learning Strategy that

Foundation Emergent Innovative Transformative
Learning Places and
Spaces
The use of ICT for learning is largely
fixed within the classroom.
Flexible arrangements
support access to ICT for learning
across the school.
Flexible learning environments
incorporate ICT to support individual learning needs.
ICT enables personalised learning anywhere anytime.
Student ICT
Capability
Recognition of student ICT Capabilities is
informal.
Student ICT Capabilities are
recognised, evaluated and
used to increase engagement.
Student ICT Capabilities are formally
recognised, inform planning and create
independent learners.
Student ICT Capabilities transform how students acquire
skills and knowledge.
Learning Communities
ICT for learning is an isolated activity
occurring within the classroom.
Local and School based
Communities are supported through
ICT.
ICT connects Schools
to local and global communities to
enhance learning and teaching.
Local and Global Communities enable Schools to lead ICT based programs that transform Learning
and Teaching.
Planning Options• A separate eLearning plan
– A complete document that supports the annual School Implementation Plan which stems from School Strategic Plan.
Choose this because:– ICT is a large financial investment– eLearning can be a catalyst for School
Transformation– ICT is part of 21st Century Learning
Planning Options (…cont)• Integrated eLearning into Strategic Planning – Review or amend existing Strategic
Plan and annual School Implementation Plan to ensure each eLearning area is recognised and planned for

The eLearning Vision
The eLearning Vision will provide a direction for where your School is going in relation to ICT for learning. Your Vision should be a desired outcome that inspires, energises and helps you create a mental picture of your target and a compelling picture of what ICT can enable
Creating your eLearning Vision…
Consider:• How will learning and teaching have changed
and how will ICT support this change?
• What type of learning environment would you see?
• How will learning take place?
• What will your students expectations of learning be?
• What will each student know, value and be able to do when they leave your school?
Notes on eLearning Vision
• Your eLearning vision must emanate from your Strategic Plan. Review your School Profile and Values from your Strategic Plan to help form a basis.
• Ensure that your eLearning vision is a clear and succinct statement that is easily understood.
• Ideally it needs to be shared and owned by all of the members of your School Community, including teachers, students and parents
