Perhaps above all else, digital solutions promise flexibility. For the learner, they offer the flexibility to learn at home or in the classroom, at a time that suits, on the device that is most convenient, with a personalised focus on topics of greatest challenge or interest. And for the teacher and the institution, digital solutions offer the prospect of a classrooms and a school that can stray beyond physical boundaries, the opportunity to deliver truly individualised, even adaptive programmes, and the capacity to create and deliver truly distinctive courses honed for particular learners, clients, or a specialist sector.
So with digital, the shackles are off. But with that flexibility comes the danger of throwing out the good with the bad, or even losing control. So how do we make the most of this newfound flexibility? How do we compete with new digital offerings and improve upon them while staying true to our core business of delivering quality, engaging and impactful language training. Using practical examples, Ian will explore how to create and deliver distinctive digital programmes that make best use of technology, from digital authoring to video conferencing, from skills tracking to adaptive learning.
