The eMerge e-Learning Staff Development Programme
During session 2004 - 5, extra funds have been made available from the SFEFC
(Scottish Further Education Funding Council) to augment the training available from this Regional Support Centre. Extra
funds have also been made available to support the training provision offered by
RSC Scotland South & West and the SFEU (Scottish Further Education Unit).
This investment in the skills development of college staff is certain to result in valuable sector-wide benefits.
The joint programme of extra opportunities has been named eMerge: The e-Learning Staff Development
Programme.
Extra training opportunities are available from RSC Scotland North & East, consisting of in-depth project work, such as the Image Engine, as well as scheduled courses and non-scheduled courses.

The Image Engine
The Image Engine is a new initiative to train College staff in the acquisition, preparation and storage of images and - more importantly - the creative use of these images in the development of high quality online learning materials.
The e-Olympics
The first ever two day e-Olympics was held on September 23-24th in the Athens of the North. Delegates took part in an intensive training event designed to lead them through the stages of creating a learning object from a preliminary design and to load their final 'chunk' of online material into a learning repository.
