What the Students think..... 
Well you are not stuck in all day 
From early in the morning till 
night 
I really liked that I could log on later in the day and do the tasks then, My brain works better 
when I'm fully awake and when I was in regular schooling I would be really tired and 
couldn't concentrate as much because of it. I also like that I can use the Internet to look up 
things I'm not 100% sure about. 
Like in school you are trying to keep up with 
the rest of the class. 
I used to have that problem 
where you would be writing 
something down and then 
you havent it all and she 
wipes the board. 
I hate that.
Very handy better than writing or books rather the computer. 
Im terrible at writing Id rather the computer its handy. 
Ive always wanted to be a mechanic so Id 
probably bring some things like that on to it [iScoil]. 
Theres bits on it already how you do this with a car 
and things like that if there was more up on it youd 
learn more. 
Yeah sometimes the videos have writing in it isnt it 
when you have to read the writing. 
And it trips on very fast. 
I felt like I knew her (mentor) like even though I never seen her before. I felt 
comfortable like.
What the Teachers think ..... 
they dont feel confined to a classroom, do you know like, just the 
pressure of having an adult, building up a different relationship with 
adults. 
its going to be private and individual to them, 
nobody is looking over their shoulder to see what 
theyve done, nobody is comparing it to what 
theyre doing next to them. And its that that takes 
that pressure away. 
Very often in mainstream schools as well, is just that curriculum, where in iScoil, the 
project courses, we try to outline their interests and their likes and that really gets 
them going, if theyre able to do quite well on Man Utd tasks or whatever might 
entice them to try another communication task and that really gets the ball 
rolling
but sometimes the hard thing is you dont 
even get any feedback (from students) 
..... like if you do kind of set projects task and previously youd only 
kind of be getting short answers for that and then you suddenly give 
them a task about World War Two or something and you come back 
and theyre written this big long essay full of descriptive language and 
its that they actually have no problems with literacy, just that they 
werent interested in what you were giving them....... 
think that sometimes you have to try and assess students by stealth 
on the other hand I feel that lack, you get a 
sense of someone when they come in, their 
mood, where theyre coming from

Studies in interventions using technology emphasise the ability of online 
learning environments to provide a highly individualised and differentiated 
learning experience (Archambault et al 2010) 
What we know works ...... 
Self Paced Personalised 
Interest Led Safe 
How it works ..... 
Student Centred Competency Based Active Learning 
Assessment 
Synchronous vs 
Asynchronous 
Could it work better.... 
Interaction Instruction 
Adaptable 
Flexible 
Discussion
What did you not like or what would you change? 
I would change some of the tasks difficulty to make them more challenging for the 
students of course it all depends on the students strong & weak points how the 
tasks should change for example a student who is weak at math could start of at 
a 1 out of 5 on a difficulty scale and work their way up to 4 or 5 eventually 
while a student who is strong at math could start of at a 3 out of 5 etc.
