INSET ON THE NET

SITE RATIONALE

The website inset-on-the-net.com is a professional development resource with quality access to education professionals on registration with a valid e-mail address. The term ‘course’ arises within the software used, but its flexible use here goes beyond the IOTN provision of high quality, high impact, manageable, quality p.d. in a bite size manageable format.

A range of short ‘courses’ is available, across a number of school phases and topic categories. Some are accessible to guests so that site content can be sampled by visitors, but to gain full access to the entire range of professional development instruments, documents and web links, registration is necessary. The number of short ‘courses’ available is constantly updated, at least one new course will be added each term. The aim of these is to stimulate high quality, high impact, manageable professional development and school improvement via the printable instruments and documents.

Support for all IOTN ‘courses’ can be accessed via email. Please see the site for contact details.
