1. ALT FELTAG SIG James Clay Chair of FE and Cross Sector Engagement Committee
3. What is FELTAG? FELTAG is a major project in the FE and Adult Skills sector aimed at a new approach to developing e- learning and the role of technology generally in supporting education. Rather than a series of imperatives, it seeks to remove barriers to natural progression meaning FELTAG affects every training organisation who can now progress, not through new funding but by the removal of impediments.
4. What is the SIG? This Group proposes to provide a means of discussing the major challenges and areas for change that comes with the removal of barriers. It will explore the role of students and their teachers as change agents and their managers as enablers, as well as the development of curriculum models and methods of delivery in terms of format, time and place. It will do this through discussion, and sharing ideas and resources.
5. Who is it for? This SIG is open to all those interested in promoting the themes of FELTAG movement and wanting to share ideas relevant to it. The SIG will discuss its work more widely through a FELTAGSIG Jiscmail list, periodic face-to-face meetings and webinars as appropriate.
