Online Learning
On this page you will find a range of links to a variety of online CPD courses for staff. Whilst we are all working from home it is a good opportunity to spend some time keeping our skills and knowledge up to date, or to expand our knowledge in areas relevant to our job.
As a partner institution, Edge Hill University has shared with us a curated (and ongoing) list of courses and resources to support with online learning. As they say themselves, "these are not recommendations, just suggestions and you will be best placed to select what works for you." However, I would definitely check out the specific section with links for teachers.
This is EXCELLENT!!!!!!
A new ETF guide to remote working that will help colleagues support students based at home is now available.
The Guide to EdTech and Essential Digital Skills Training to Support Remote Working provides links to EdTech and Essential Digital Skills training modules on the ETF’s Enhance Digital Teaching Platform which can contribute to developing the knowledge, skills and understanding required for teaching and learning online. It is accompanied by a series of free, online webinars
We provide training support for teachers and trainers in using educational technology (EdTech),hosted on our Enhance Digital Teaching Platform. The support is through two key ways:
How to use EdTech to teach: If you want to learn how to develop your teaching practice using educational technology (EdTech), there are online modules mapped to our Digital Teaching Professional Framework.
How to develop your Essential Digital Skills: If you want to develop your essential digital skills and prepare to teach courses for the new legal digital entitlement, the online modules are mapped to the national standards.

When you're done, generate your certificate of completion, download the presentation notes, and check out the #DitchSummit hashtag on Twitter for discussion.
It's like Netflix for professional development! Watch one, watch 'em all, watch them over and over! But watch before January 8, when the encore to the summit ends and all of the videos become unavailable.

Please discuss any training you would like to undertake with your line manager, before starting any course.
The College’s full distance learning offer is now on the website, and we are offering many courses which would be beneficial and relevant to you. Please take a look at our website, but some examples of courses on offer are Business Administration Principles, Mental Health Awareness, Team Leading and Certificate in Business Improvement Techniques.
The courses are free to staff (unless you have a Manchester post code) but if you fail to complete the course there is a charge of £100 - £200. The courses run over 20 weeks, and as a guide require a commitment of about 7.5 hours per week.
Please email DistanceLearning@wvr.ac.uk if you have any queries.
