Engage your learners by making the most of ICT teaching across your school

For your school to be truly successful in embedding the use of ICT across the curriculum it will be essential to raise the ICT knowledge base and confidence of all your staff. Vital courses have been specifically developed by the Open University in conjunction with e-skills UK to do this and build on shared development and reflective practice.

Vital offers staff development that reflects the real CPD needs of IT teachers, teachers using ICT across the curriculum and support staff.

Vital aims to bring together in one place all the existing ICT CPD options available in your region and offers schools flexible forms of course provision to address the need for smarter training. Vital courses can be delivered online with a minimum of face to face provision. Alternatively courses can be delivered in school to a group of staff, a method that can increase course effectiveness while significantly reducing the cost.

Vital will provide you with the essential staff development in ICT that will enable your staff to use ICT confidently and creatively, to engage with all pupils and to raise standards.
