Provider/Practitioner Survey

 

Dear Colleague

We are writing to request your participation in an online survey looking at ICT and e-learning across the FE sector. The survey is part of some research into e-maturity across the FE that is currently being carried out by Learning and Skills Network on behalf of Becta. Findings will help inform strategic and funding decisions surrounding development and implementation of ICT and e-learning in the FE sector.

The questionnaire can be accessed via the first link below. The information requested relates to ICT and e-learning strategy, ICT capacity and use at your college and we imagine that you – as ICT Champion or equivalent – will be familiar with the large majority of it. But some sections may require minimal input from other Senior Management staff.

We would be very grateful if you could take the time to complete the questionnaire. It is important for us to collect as many responses as possible in order to ensure results are as robust and informative as possible. Your feedback will also be crucial in conveying key messages and priorities relating to e-maturity to Becta and other strategic bodies.

As part of the same research, we are running a parallel survey collecting information on use of and attitudes to ICT and e-learning amongst teaching  staff and learning  support staff at FE colleges. This questionnaire should already have been distributed to relevant individuals at your college, but we are also including a link below and would be very grateful if you could encourage colleagues to complete and return it. This staff survey should not take more than 10 minutes to complete and all completed returns will be entered into a prize draw to win £150 cash.

Paper based copies of both questionnaires, and freepost envelopes for their return, can be ordered by phoning Natasha Calvert, at Learning and Skills Network on 020 7297 9112. We will also be happy to answer any queries you have.

Thank you so much for considering this request.

Best wishes

Natasha Calvert
