Ofsted Online Survey

4

Ofsted Online Survey – out 2pm today

• 20 providers seen – with support from AoC, HOLEX and AELP

.

• Many colleges responded quickly and put lots of systems and

support in place.

• Ofsted saw the digitally enabled colleges, there is still a need for

infrastructure, content and staff mentoring/ CPD.

• Ofsted found (as did our surveys) that there is variability in

engagement, especially on lower levels.

• Practical subjects also an issue, though colleges were inventive.
• Learners miss face to face contact, and prefer more interactive

sessions where better feedback is possible.

Ofsted Online Survey – out 2pm today

• Confidence and workload is a real issue for staff.
• Digital divide a major concern.
• Online safeguarding has been well considered.
• Supports the need for catch up funding.
• Learners prefer live sessions rather than pre-recorded sessions.
• Harder for teaching staff to check and develop learners remotely.
• Staff who were not as engaged with online learning prior to Covid-

19 have struggled the most.

AoC / UfI - eBook Publication Invest in ALL forms of digital infrastructure

19

• To ensure that no student or apprentice is left behind, we

need to learn from the authors of our eBook to build a case for:

• funding to create a national online repository of high-

quality interactive content specifically designed for vocational and skills-based delivery. This will include ‘bite size’ micro-credentialed content endorsed by industry sectors.

• increased funding to ensure accessibility for all FE

learners to online resources is safeguarded through resilient and reliable connectivity.

• investment in the development and adoption of new

assessment methodologies designed for secure remote delivery.

• capital investment ringfenced for the FE digital estate.
• supporting sector professionals to augment education

where appropriate utilising digital assistants, automated workflows, data analytics, flexible working and reduced workflow.

• The digital infrastructure required to support a skills

led recovery. + re-definition of GLH
