FELTAG Mythbusting
“My prediction for September 2015 is we will have lots of
courses that do have the mandatory 10% online provision – but
most of these will be of poor quality, with over stressed
teachers, stability issues with the systems, and the 10% being an
expensive tokenistic gesture that isn’t integrated into the whole
teaching and learning process and culture” – Dave Foord

Common myths and misconceptions
FELTAG Mythbusting
“The FELTAG ‘10% of learning should be online’
recommendation has generated a lot of interest. One of our
recent webinars had over 500 people wanting to understand
more about it and a NIACE poll showed that more than 80% of
providers were not confident that their organisations
understood what the SFA requirements will be for online
learning.” – David Hughes, NIACE

Common myths and misconceptions
FELTAG Mythbusting
“We are not expecting providers to convert 10% of learning
delivery in each programme of study ‘en bloc’ to online to meet a
‘directive’.” – SFA statement

Common myths and misconceptions
FELTAG Mythbusting
“We are encouraging providers to establish a strategy to:
• determine where a greater ‘blend’ of delivery and assessment
types adds most value to a learning programme;
• provide learners with improved access to learning outside the
classroom,
• increase their ability to learn and to assess themselves at their
own pace as well as to develop new digital skills and
networking opportunities to enhance employability” - SFA

›Don’t underestimate the VLE!
› But what is the (learning) technology landscape of the
individual FE Sussex Colleges?
–Many technologies have direct relevance to the FELTAG
agenda, e.g. video production, test centres
›What “unofficial” products and services do people use?
›What is the IT and e-Learning capability of the Colleges?
–e.g. skills in particular products and services
›And likewise for students (we’ll come back to this)

› Versus:
Preparing to Implement FELTAG - Technology in Learning in Sussex (TILIS) workshop - FE Sussex - Feb 2015 27
› Requires building by building survey – specialist tools?
› Cable runs to locations not presently serviced, e.g. corridors
and support pillars
›May need additional/replacement comms cabinets to
accommodate the extra cabling (Cat6 bend radius)
›May need to replace Ethernet switches with Power over
Ethernet models (which may require active cooling)
› Enterprise scale systems typically use wireless controllers –
will need at least two for redundancy
›May need upgrade (e.g. from 1 to 10Gbit/s) if it proves popular
Opportunities for Colleges: Wireless infrastructure
Preparing to Implement FELTAG - Technology in Learning in Sussex (TILIS) workshop - FE Sussex - Feb 2015 28
› Enabled by pervasive wireless
›What does “Your Own” mean?
–Increasingly common to give pupils/students tablets pre-
loaded with apps, content, licenses
–cf. Google Play for Education (NFC setup), Apple Device
Enrolment Programme (factory ship option)
›What if I already have my own?
–Does your College know?
–Your Own Technology Survey: www.yots.org.uk
–ONS: “No Internet access in 16% of UK households in 2014”
Opportunities for Colleges: Bring Your Own Device

› FE Sussex already has experience
here – sharing Finance, HR, Payroll
› Could extend to other common core
functions, e.g. server and web hosting
and specific corporate apps
› Potential to exploit cloud services,
but these effectively move IT spend from capex to opex
› Shared services that directly impact on the student
experience, e.g. learning analytics / dashboard?
› Common approach to attendance monitoring, video
production, e-Assessment, lecture capture, e-Portfolios
Opportunities for Colleges: Shared Services
