The JISC Regional Support Centres provide
impartial advice and guidance. With over 5,000
web 2.0 tools and many free software downloads it
is not possible to identify all the resources that
might be suitable for Work Based Learning
provider use. All resources identified in this
presentation are examples, and not necessarily
recommendations.

Things you should consider before deciding on using FREE
tools and software
 Shareware
– Shareware is a marketing method, not a type of software
– Principal is “try before you buy” – there can often be a time limit on free
usage
– Some software has limited features, with no time restriction
 Free Software
can be redistributed and/or modified under the terms of the GNU General
Public license as published by the Free Software Foundation (GNU General
Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change all
versions of a program - to make sure it remains free software for all its users)
 SCORM Compliant (Sharable Content Object Reference Model)
A collection of standards and specifications for web-based e-learning which
enables content to be published and used in any SCORM based application.
You can mix and match content from different sources

Legal Considerations
 Data Protection Act
When developing an e-learning system, ensuring best practice compliance with
data protection law should always be built into the planning/design process.
http://www.jisclegal.ac.uk/dataprotection/dataprotection.htm
 Intellectual Property Rights
Staff must ensure that the use of online materials complies with the terms of
use stipulated by its rights holder. Copyright infringement occurs if you use a
substantial part of another's protected work. This is assessed both qualitatively
and quantitatively.
http://www.jisclegal.ac.uk/ipr/IntellectualProperty.htm
 Disability Discrimination Act
It is unlawful to discriminate against a disabled person in the student services it
provides or offers to provider. Student Services includes distance learning and
independent learning opportunities such as e-learning.
