What you have done so far in this course has prepared you for drafting an e-learning vision from a fairly informed position. There are several things you should bear in mind about a vision:
- Developing one is a process and not an event.
- A vision is a process and not a product.
- A vision which is not developed as a shared process with meaningful stakeholder input is not worth much.
- Developing a vision is therefore an ongoing shared process.
The second in this two-part series of courses, Technology Leadership in Schools, will go into more depth about commitment to and ownership of a vision and its implementation. In this course, you will be advised to work, or at least consult, with a group of stakeholders in your school from this point onwards. The processes of e-learning/technology planning and implementing change leadership are interrelated. It might be best to implement an integrated process after you have completed these courses, rather than trying to juggle course requirements with an actual process in your school. The process is critical to progress in your school and if you cannot give it full attention you may jeopardise it to some extent.
Learning Objective
Participants who successfully complete the lesson will be able to:
- Analyse stakeholders and interact with each individual/group in a way that fosters ownership of an e-learning vision.
