The NCTE (National Centre for Technology in Education) website contains a number of useful resources to assist schools in developing their e-Learning Plan, from the NCTE’s e-Learning Handbook and Roadmap to case studies and video exemplars highlighting how teachers are integrating ICT in their classrooms. For the development of the school’s e-Learning Plan, there are also templates available which are designed to be adapted and customised along the particular needs and priority areas of a school.

The NCTE’s e-Learning Handbook outlines the process of planning for e-Learning in a school and has been developed in consultation with the school development planning initiatives at primary and post primary level. It provides a step by step guide to the development of the school’s e-Learning Plan and outlines the key roles and responsibilities of all involved in the development of the plan.

The e-Learning Roadmap is a planning tool designed to help a school identify where it currently is in relation to e-Learning, and the priority areas for e-Learning Development. The Roadmap provides a number of statements under the following headings:

  • Leadership & Planning
  • ICT & the Curriculum
  • Professional Development
  • e-Learning Culture
  • ICT Infrastructure

The statements can be categorised as ‘Initial’, ‘e-Enabled’, ‘e-Confident’ or ‘e-Mature’.
