eLearning
As the long winter nights draw in we know there is an increase in visitors to our website. I wonder therefore if it also a time for some eLearning or to share some eLearning with your colleagues. In this resource spotlight we focus on four eLearning providers.
- What are your current professional development needs?
- Do you know the professional development needs of your colleagues?
- How are you supporting early career teachers?
- Who will flexible eLearning suit?
- How will you share what has been learnt from this learning?
RE Today E Learning zone
RE Today have a new e-learning platform with both paid and free content. For those in England, there is an excellent free course on the OFSTED Subject report, Deep and meaningful?
Openlearn from the Open University
Perhaps look at the short course on Why not world religions? Or an education in religion and worldviews. If you have a little more time you may want to explore the longer philosophy of religion course. Note Openlearn Cymru has courses in the Welsh language.
The University of Edinburgh
Another longer offering comes from The University of Edinburgh, the free philosophy, science and religion course is made up of 3 courses which you can progress through at your own pace. It is an opportunity to explore contemporary debates at the intersection of Philosophy, Science and Religion.
Culham St Gabriel’s short courses
As people have been discussing their responses to the Curriculum and Assessment Review in England you might have heard mention of the National Content Standard. We have a short course, approximately 30 minutes, The National Content Standard for RE in England: A very brief introduction, which will help you find out more.
Alternatively, do you have colleagues new to teaching in your primary school if so our three-part Primary Beginning teacher course maybe ideal for them focussing on introducing a religion and worldviews approach, teaching and learning and the framing of subject knowledge.
