Potential uses of these interactive guides include to:

* develop existing skills to meet the specific needs of learners in new circumstances
* share and disseminate good practice and
* aid curriculum development, delivery and assessment.
What next?
A review of the use of technology in the content and delivery of initial teacher training has just been conducted, with funding from Becta and BIS, to ascertain the following:
* What are the skills needs and gaps of ‘teacher educators’ in using technology for learning as they deliver initial teacher training?
* What changes, if any, need to be made to the current PTLLS, CTLLS and DTLLS qualifications in order that the FE workforce can effectively harness technology for learning?
