Abstract

This paper describes the initial findings of a longitudinal case study that investigates the use of e-learning and communications technology to enhance the placement experience for full time post graduate certificate in education (PGCE) students. It is a work in progress examining how a VLE might be used to support geographically separated trainees while they are on placement. A preliminary analysis of the results is used to offer some insight into how this type of support might be improved for future students, and a minimum pedagogical framework is recommended for the implementation of VLEs for initial teacher training
