About our EdTech Offer

Introduction to our EdTech Offer

The Education and Training Foundation (ETF) provides a fully subsidised training offer to support teachers and trainers in using educational technology (EdTech). The offer is hosted on our Enhance Digital Teaching Platform and is designed to help you develop and innovate your practice to engage learners and improve outcomes.

For an overview of the Enhance Digital Teaching Platform, please view our walkthrough video guide, or download our video transcript.

The ETF's free EdTech offer is based on our national EdTech competency framework, the Digital Teaching Professional Framework (DTPF).

Key features of the EdTech offer include:

  • Free, bite-size online training modules mapped to the DTPF
  • An achievements badge system to reward Exploring, Adopting and Leading as set out in the DTPF
  • A user-centred, mobile-first design to make it easy for you to access training anywhere, anytime and any device
  • Facilities to build an online community of practice

60-Minute Starter Pack

If you are just starting out using educational technology, try our 60-minute starter pack. This signposts you to 12 of our free-to-access, bite-size training modules which have been selected to give you a good overview of the basics. Each module is only five minutes long so if you do them all it will take you 60 minutes.
