The purpose of the e-Learning Planning Framework is to provide a shared language for schools as they look across their school to review the way they integrate technologies into their curriculum.

There is no 'one' way to conduct a review.

However, we share here some possible approaches that are likely to be useful to help schools through this process:

How might I use it as part of a review?

• How might you use the eLPF-A possible approach.pdf (PDF, 1,001.39 kB): This resource shows you how the frameworks are part of a school's inquiry and review cycle.

• Examples of facilitation: Whole staff review and discussion supports a shared approach as schools look at what they are doing with technologies and why. This thread includes examples of how Blended e-Learning facilitators as they have used it with whole staff.

Checklist for effective review

An effective school e-learning review might ask the following questions:

Planning

• How are we collaborating with the whole school, our community, whānau and iwi?
• What do we need to know, specifically, about the way we using e-learning?
• What different types of data can we collect to help inform our review, including student achievement data?
• What do we know about the progress of our Māori and Pasifika learners, and those students with identified special education needs?
• When we look at the information, have we considered all the factors that might explain why students are doing well or why we have the issues we do?
• So, what's most important for us to focus on? What will benefit our learners?

Actioning

• Have we designed an action plan that specifically addresses the issues we have identified?
• Will our action plan support collaborative, culturally responsive professional learning and inquiry?

Monitoring and reviewing

• How will we monitor our actions and review their progress and impact as we go?
• Do we need to adjust our actions?
• What was the impact of our actions on leaders? teachers? students? whānau and iwi?
