Learner Needs

The college has chosen to use Apple Macs to support the learners in the creation of their portfolios, calling the project iDidit.

Each learner will use digital still and video cameras, to record evidence of their achievements and then put this together using the Apple Macs and software like ComicLife, which converts the output into a comic style format. The learners are given as much freedom and ownership as possible and the Macs have proved to be easy to use, with learners remembering skills from one week to the next.
