2. Aim
• To put Year 7 Technology courses online and
push them to students via the schools intranet
• Courses would be accessible 24/7
• To move away from the teacher lead
classroom model and encourage students to
work independently with a self paced
elearning module which mirrored the current
Yr 7 Technology programs

3. Methods Used
• Lessons delivered using Captivate
• User experience and authoring allows for non
linear lesson flow, students navigate through
the lessons based on their own interests and
create there own lesson paths
• Students track their own progress with course
and check progress against marking criteria
within the lesson flow

4. ICT Technologies used
• Interface design – Photoshop, Illustrator
• Authoring – Captivate
• Video – Premiere Pro 4
• Information Architecture – Micro station
• Audio – Garage Band, Sound forge
• Assessment downloads and Marking Grids -
Word

9. Project Evaluation - Positive
• Eye-catching design with intuitive navigation
which is easy to use.
• Available to students 24/7
• Tracks students progress
• Complete course stored locally and on
students computers
• Reader caters for individual learning abilities
of the student

10. Project Evaluation - Negative
• Requires high level ICT skills to design,
produce and edit - professional design and
authoring skills required
• Time consuming to create and change content
• Course delivered over 1 year (year 7) and
some students may find this level of working
independently overwhelming
• Video support material not complete and
requires additional teacher instruction
