eNet
Join eNet to collaborate with inspiring educators and explore blended learning tools and approaches.
In 2018, we decided that a guide on writing effective case notes for digital literacy training services would better support our work as coaches.
We hoped that our guide and our record of how we developed it might be useful to others working in literacy and basic skills (LBS) as they develop, enhance or extend their own system of sharing information through case notes.
Our main finding was that case notes on their own aren’t a solution to the dilemmas in our work, but there are two outcomes of the project that will make a positive contribution to the field: case studies and reflective practice.
Case studies became the Wayfinders Studio and reflective practice became the Educator Network (eNet).
Wayfinders Studio
Join literacy educators who are experimenting, piloting and reflecting on how digital technology can enhance learning.
Digital technology can support personalized learning in several ways:
- Learner profiles
- Learning paths
- Feedback and assessment
AlphaPlus created this site in December 2018 for a community-based adult literacy program we were working with in Toronto. They were looking at increasing the use of tablets and were interested to see how digital technology could enhance an instructor’s capacity to personalize learning for a group with diverse needs, goals and desires.
If you’re interested in exploring the ways digital technology can personalize or individualize learning, please get in touch.
- AlphaPlus coaches will work with you to create an individualized plan and develop personalized learning solutions for the learners in your program.
- As an Educator Network (eNet) participant, you’ll join a cohort of Ontario literacy practitioners in a reflective practice process and have access to both AlphaPlus knowledge and peer experience.
- If you get stuck while trying something new, the AlphaPlus quick tech help option can help.
If you’d like a copy of this site to use as a starting point to adapt and expand for use in your program, please get in touch. AlphaPlus can give you a copy and support you in learning how to use a website builder such as Google Sites or Weebly as online learning spaces for learners, staff and volunteers.
