This blog is intended as a starting point for discussions within FaSMEd about the design decisions related to the toolkit. It will be clear to the reader that we are not yet well enough informed about the research into aspects of the literature, but that we intend to further investigate what is known about the design of toolkits.
In addition we hope to develop our understanding through conversations with the consortium partners as we are well aware of the experience and expertise of various members of the consortium in designing materials for classroom use and professional development. We believe that we can draw on this experience and expertise, together with that reported in the research literature and our own small scale research, to inform the design of an excellent toolkit for FaSMEd.
