| Curriculum Online is central to the Government's
drive to transform teaching and learning in schools by improving access to
ICT and multimedia resources for all pupils. Here's how eLCs fit in…
The Government has set aside substantial funds for
your school to spend on multimedia resources in the form of eLCs
(Electronic Learning Credits). The money is distributed from central
Government via LEAs to individual schools, which decide locally how to
spend it*.
Every school has an appointed eLC budget-holder holder (eg your head,
head of department, Bursar or ICT coordinator). All teachers are invited
to recommend resources for purchase.
At www.curriculumonline.gov.uk
you'll find the definitive list of the multimedia resources that your
school can buy with its eLC money. All the resources here are geared to
the subjects taught in schools in England.
By April 2006, schools will have received £330million in eLC
money. In May 2003, for instance, every school received £1000, plus
nearly £10 per pupil, for the academic year 2003-4. |
