Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), this case study looks at the theme of harnessing technology. From Dearne Valley College it describes how a learning strategy, originally developed for a single learner, has been extended to many more learners across Dearne Valley College.

Using strategies developed as part of a wider STEM project, the college supported a learner with complex mental health issues to enable him to complete a BTEC in Information technology. Although extremely articulate he had difficulty in submitting coursework in the usual formats such as reports. Showing the student how to use web-authoring software allowed him to produce a web site containing his assignments in a variety of formats. This method of producing and submitting work has also been found to be successful and motivating in other students.
