Over the years, we have produced a range of e-learning material to support the IT awards at HN level. Most of the funding for this has came from ESF.

Although many of these developments were ad hoc, there are now sufficient units covered by online learning that entire group awards can now be delivered this way. The entire HNC Computing can now be delivered online; as can the new HNC Interactive Media; most of the HNC IT award is also covered; and some of the HNC Computer Networking. In total, 29 units are now supported by e-learning materials.

All of these materials will eventually appear on the SQA website but, for the moment, some are hosted elsewhere. In fact, three websites: here, here and here. Please contact Caroline for further information.
