Description

The University of Southampton is working with The Isle of Wight College, Bridgwater College, Southampton City College and the Education and Training Services of the British Army to deliver this project for the DfES Standards Unit and are aiming to develop operational policy, procedures and make recommendations for the remote observation, analysis and feedback of teaching performance.

We are using video conferencing systems in partnership colleges and training organisations as a tool to support the remote observation of teaching performance in real time.

The project is aimed at developing strategies to improve and support Initial Teacher Education, facilitate Human Resource Management and help support observation of teaching by subject specialists.

The team are working with teachers to develop protocols that utilise this technology in a supportive and developmental way.
