Our aimsOur aims
• This year the Staff Development strand of the RSC for London has two main aims:
– bring on board a greater number of Staff Development Managers who have not been involved with e-learning
– help the institutions we support integrate their staff development, teaching and learning and ILT strategies.
Some concerns:Some concerns:
• To what extent do you feel engaged with e-learning in your institution?
• How supported do you feel by your own institution re e-learning implementation?
• As an SD Manager/Officer, do you feel responsible for e-learning staff development?
• What is your own vision for staff development and e-learning?
