eXe empowers all users to...

• 'convert existing digital documents/resources' and/or
  
• 'develop new documents/resources'

at a time and place convenient to them!

A practitioner could use eXe to assist them in...

• the publishing of web content...
  • a format that is accessible by all learners via a browser (not dependent upon operating system or specific software)
  • providing access for learners to differentiated online resources that can, in turn, open up a more extensive and appropriate range of options.
  • where asynchronous, peer-to-peer learning through collaborative tools can encourage reflection and evaluation beyond class contact time.
  • concentrating your efforts on preparing analytical and evaluative activities rather than 'marking'.
  • where online quizzes etc., provides learners with opportunities to self-test prior to summative assessment
  • where online assessment tests can provide immediate feedback in a non-judgemental way; online formative assessment reduces practitioners' workload and increases learners' responsibility for their own learning.
• adding multimedia...
  as you will know this can...
  • enliven factual information and support different learning styles.
  • enhance presentations allowing learners to reflect on concepts at their own pace.
  • enable practitioners and learners to use their scheduled contact time more creatively.
  • provide more efficient learning when linked to face-to-face sessions in a blended learning programme.
  • support the development of conceptual learning.

• producing self-directed learning through online simulations and tutorials...
  
  • this can build learners' confidence to take up formal learning opportunities.
  • where Learners' evaluative skills can be developed through activities prior to face-to-face sessions.
  • which can support different learning styles and provide self-paced learning.
  • where individual learners can be more easily supported through differentiated resources
  • where online scenarios using digital images and animation provide engaging activities that stimulate learning and help learners to retain concepts
  • where Learners unable to participate in face-to-face group activities can still enjoy the benefit of problem-based learning through animation and simulation.
  • where Learners can be effectively motivated towards skills acquisition that requires repetition when they are participating kinaesthetically.

An administrator could use eXe to assist them in...

• producing web content to
  
  • improve communication and accessibility
  • showcase multimedia produced by practitioners and/or learners
  • meet the Disability Equality Duty (with regards to existing 'dead-tree' - paper-based - documentation)
    

A manager could use, or encourage the use of, eXe to...

• publish web content
• empower staff to produce web content that, after quality assurance, can be added to the organisations VLE (Virtual Learning Environment), website, content management system etc.
  Note: for learning providers who don't have a VLE these same resources can be used on a memory stick, a CD-ROM etc.
• produce resources that will increase learners' active participation, which in turn may well have an impact on their ability to learn and may improve both retention and achievement
  • If included within a VLE, Learners will be able to access essential content at a time and place to suit their needs
  • Online quizzes testing conceptual understanding can increase learners' confidence and therefore participation in face-to-face sessions.
