Subject: [Xerte] Students creating with Xerte - short video from Epping Forest College

Here's an inspiring start to the week.
Vikki Liogier, Head of e.Learning and Innovation at Epping Forest College sent us this link to show how students have engaged with using Xerte in the college.

"Students are creating LO for their peers, presenting and then testing understanding and learning. One of the main barrier we have identified to embed eLearning at EFC is time. Time for staff to be trained, time for them to develop LO. By engaging students in the learning and teaching process, the barrier is taken down, the teacher also benefits from a pool of LOs that he/she can use the following year, while the students are stimulated by the ownership of their own learning. Everybody wins. "

Some great inspiration here, please pass on our congratulations to your colleagues Vikki and thanks for sharing the link.
