- Make sure you verify the
quality and credibility of the the course/resource/programme you have identified. Ask these questions as a starting point:
- Whose website/course/resource/programme is this?
- Why have they made it available?
- Is the information actual, relevant and appropriate to me?
- Is this the best option or my only option?
- Make sure you are aware of the cost factors involved in the approach you have chosen and are confident you have the required ICT skills to complete it. If not, draw on your peers and support staff who can assist you in the process.
- Be realistic about what you can achieve. Start with simple tasks and work up from there.
- Stick to the plan you have created.
- Make sure you set aside sufficient time to complete the planned professional development. Never underestimate the time it requires as more often than not it will take longer than you anticipated.
- Remember to persevere, even if you don’t have success in achieving your goals initially!
