Transformation Fund: Tutor's Viewpoint
Through the Berkshire Digital Learning Champions Project a host of new people and organisations known to the existing network stepped forward to deliver the project to the learners. They created new partnerships as well as expanding the existing network. Here they share their experiences delivering the project.
The Tutors, or ‘Champions’ as they were known, talk about how they contextualised the materials and what they learnt from the experience. There are small snippets of some of them who attended the Launch Event on 15th November 2009 about their expectations and initial thoughts on the project. Some of them also attended the Celebration Event held at Theale Gateway Centre on 29th April 2010 and were filmed discussing what they learnt and how they plan to use this learning in their future endeavours.
