Burnley College: Engaging staff with an 'Olympic Feast' themed CPD

As part of its award winning staff development programme Burnley College has introduced an end of year ‘Feast’ of staff development activities. The Feast includes two weeks of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) workshops for all staff designed to promote e-Learning techniques, develop innovative teaching and learning methods as well as encourage staff to develop sharing hobbies and interests while always looking to expand the learning element.

This is a version of the Jisc ‘Six Elements of Digital Capabilities’ model, specifically for teaching sta or for academic sta in their teaching role. It is an update on the earlier ‘7 elements of digital literacy’ model (2009) and has many continuities with this framework. This version was produced in response to feedback that the base model alone does not provide enough detail to support embedding into practice. However, it is an example of how the base model could be used to define the digital capabilities of teaching sta and is meant to be adapted to suit specific settings.
