eLearning
Since 1998 Learn Net has been involved with
the development, design, delivery and evaluation of
collaborative eLearning programmes for individuals with disabilities
and from disadvantaged groups, for people running Social
Firms/Enterprises, for business mentors, learning mentors and,
importantly, for teachers /tutors/lecturers who wish to deliver
through this new methodology.
Over the years our design and delivery has
adapted to the advancement of technology and development of new
eLearning models within different sectors. Our own
research and evaluations have influenced our practices, for the
benefit of our customers and their users. We have flexibly
delivered through platforms / tools available to organisations
without compromising best practice.
We delivery bespoke
Virtual Tutor
Training for individuals and organisations, according
to their needs and client groups. It is essential for
individuals to experience being an eLearner before they consider
becoming an eTutor or eMentor as this gives them greater
understanding and insight. This is an interesting way to work
and can bring back into the workforce those who are skilled
teachers / tutors who no longer want to work in the classroom.

Young Web Designers - KS2:
-
A project with Year6 pupils to design and
build the school web site while working in an on-line
suite of labs, and extension of the school building.
The on-line labs could be accessed from any computer with an
internet connection and so learners could work when and
where they wanted, including outside traditional school
hours 7-days a week.
The
programme engaged the enthusiastic learners in the
whole process of web site design. We found that
virtual learners took on roles as peer tutors, e-mentors,
e-monitors (e-police) and demonstrated a wide range of
skills developed outside the school curriculum.

The Inclusion project
(All In) was a Birmingham city-wide pilot project which
aimed to train teachers from 3 secondary mainstream schools
and 3 secondary special schools to become Virtual Tutors and
to develop and deliver virtual programmes to learners in
mixed groups from their schools
-
The
Virtual Classroom's design supported the subjects developed.
There was a Virtual Castle for the Medieval Realms programme
where year7 learners became Maids, Squires, Earls and
Masters, facilitated by Merlin and Lady Gwyneverre. The
Virtual Zoo supported the ICT project and the year7 learners
became Keepers researching and building their own animal
enclosures closely supervised by Mr Attenborough, Crocodile
Dundee and The Vet. Finally, the Personal and Social
Education programme was delivered through a Virtual Jungle
where teams of year10 ‘leopards and bears’ worked together
under the facilitation of 3 virtual jungle characters.
