Learner Needs

Twenty learners at E 2/ E 3 level enrolled on a Motor Vehicle Tracks Course. They have a range of special needs: dyslexia, dyspraxia, Tourette's Syndrome, mild learning difficulties, attachment disorder and behavioural problems.

Learning outcomes have been improved confidence, team building skills, improved hand eye co-ordination and I.T. skills.

This is a short video of the impact the technology has had on learners.

The engineering area is extremely well equipped at a professional level which sometimes inhibits students with special needs. They needed a safe resource base to motivate and interest them which was special to them, rather than borrowed from others.

Effectively reaching any one sub-group has its unique challenges. Success rates had been significantly lower than the overall success rate at the college.

ILT based technologies in a blended context satisfied our requirements and have led to 100% retention rate!

These videos shows students using the technology and staff describing the impact on engagement, retention and learners' social skills.
