e-Olympics Train the Trainers Guide
The RSCs are still delighted to come to your College and light the flame but everything you need to know to deliver the training is contained in this booklet. Request a hard copy.
Events such as the e-Olympics give our staff ideas about transferring traditional classroom, or practical subjects, to e-learning methods.

What's the e-Olympics?
The e-Olympics is an integrated online-learning training program developed by the JISC Regional Support Centre for Scotland North and East. Aimed at front-line lecturing staff of further or higher education subjects, the programme is designed to guide participants through the stages involved in planning, constructing, resourcing and delivering a learning sequence in their own teaching areas.
The e-Olympics: What does it involve?
Through a mixture of introductory and hands-on sessions, participants:
- Discovering the pedagogical principles behind the concept of 'learning objects'
- Identifying an area for object development, drawn from their own teaching experience.
- Buildingthe framework for the object in a systematic and structured manner
- Tackling the issues of student interactivity and accessibility
- Creating resources to support the delivery of the learning sequence, drawing on a mixture of original materials and pre-prepared learning assets from existing repositories
- Packaging the object on completion, ready for use on its own or within a VLE
