Tutorials
EyeWrite contains video tutorials for all functions and many users will quickly master its easy-to-use tools. The tutorials also appear on the website so purchasers of the downloadable version without the tutorials can still get support via the web.
In-house training courses with teachers and support staff
RCP Consultancy, a division of Robert Powell Publications Ltd (the publishers of EyeWrite), can provide in-house training with staff on the use and benefits of the software both for learning and for the planning of lessons and schemes of work. The ideal situation for training in a large school or college would be a small group of staff initially who would then become the in-house trainers for other staff. The training would be hands-on and would need to take place where participants had access to a laptop or computer. A room with an interactive whiteboard or digital projector and large screen would be ideal.
In a small school the training might be with all staff who wanted to participate and the rooming and equipment needs would be as above.
In-house training with students
RCP Consultancy can also offer in-house training with students. The many benefits of the software for learners has been outlined elsewhere but their use of it will be enhanced if they are given high-quality training not only in the technical applications but in the process of brainstorming, making links and improving the writing. All courses involving students would need a teacher in attendance.
In-house training with students and teachers
A training day can also be organised so that part of the day is with students and part with staff.
Regional courses
RCP Training and Consultancy is also planning to run
some national courses once this new software is being used and the demand
for regional courses grows. Individuals who would like to be kept informed
of such courses should email their interest along with the location of the
school or college and we will inform them of courses when they are
scheduled. Email interest to: eyewrite@robertpowellpublications.com
