The SCOLIS website provides e-learning, e-portfolios, and social networking for social care employers, individuals, and the general public in Sheffield. Users can access diverse learning resources through the site, share knowledge, and progress at their own pace. It aims to support more imaginative and collaborative approaches to learning and development through technology. The site allows users to take courses, build e-portfolios showcasing their work and skills, and connect with other users through social networking features like groups and messaging. Maintaining, moderating, and ensuring expertise on the site over time presents ongoing challenges to sustainability.

9. Understanding what community building is all about and how
social media can support it are skills the social care workforce
will need. The role of social media, like other forms of group and
one-to-one communication, is to create an environment. For
social care that environment needs to do two things: first,
recognise people as having equal contributions to make to the
community; and second, to bond people together to meet the
common interests of support and care

Editor's Notes
Why should we be interested in e-this e-that and e-the other? The workforce development strategy published by Skills for care http://www.skillsforcare.org.uk/wds/
Why should we be interested in e-this e-that and e-the other? The Department of Health’s strategy for PA development http://www.dh.gov.uk/en/Publicationsandstatistics/Publications/PublicationsPolicyAndGuidance/DH_128733 But what other good reasons can you think of ? Accessibility – some learners will benefit from this approach. Personalisation – some learners will prefer this approach. Current trends – lots of other activities use this approach
Stage 2 Driven by a need to manage Who did the learning what did they learn? Stand alone Learning management system MS dedicated to delivering one (or two Packages) Mental Capacity Act e-learning (Kwango) Safeguarding Children We got here 2007-8
Stage 3 Many learning packages being delivered at one place. Relocate-able reusable packages being sourced. Virtual Learning environment (VLE) emerging. This is where we are in 2012
Stage 4 VLE Established Communities of learning exist. Adult learning activities – forums community spaces, chat rooms operating. E-learning/blended learning strategy in place Leading edge developments rolling out, being supported and succeeding M-learning Community YouTube /TV projects Integration with SCIE, Sheffield Forum , twitter This is where we should be going.
What about other e-things apart from e-learning? Social Media has a place in Social care Learning and development.
I have developed a prototype learning site, but I need your help to make it what you need. Here’s the front page.

We don’t ask for details we don’t need. We need to ask about your ‘City’ because we are funded for Sheffield . We need to ask Country to set the appropriate language.
