I have great pleasure in introducing this first Learning Pathways 14-19 eZine newsletter, which will become a regular feature in the education and training sector. The purpose is to provide updates covering the implementation and roll out of Learning Pathways 14-19.
What works best for young people has guided our development of the distinctive Learning Pathways 14-19 programme in Wales. This has been a partnership, led by the Welsh Assembly Government but driven by those who are implementing it – practitioners and young people themselves.
A partnership
The heart of Learning Pathways is the flexibility to meet the needs of every learner through an individual learning pathway and we are in a unique position to offer our young people far more choice, together with specific support that learners have not had in the past. With the support of all partners there is now a real chance to broaden options for our young people.
A powerful package
The secret of success in Learning Pathways 14-19 is the commitment to equality of opportunity and social justice built into the six key elements.
This will help us all to meet our aspirations towards learners who are disadvantaged as much as our high-flyers. All learners are entitled not just to a wider choice in their formal learning, but to wider experiences and activities, and to support, so that all our young people can achieve their potential. This is a powerful package.
Let us know
Your knowledge and experience is invaluable and we welcome your input and ideas on how we can continually improve our communications to all our partners.
In October 2007 the Welsh Assembly Government commissioned several projects to help take forward the Learning Pathways 14-19 agenda. On 20 October 2008 a dissemination event took place to report back to all Networks on the outcomes of these commissions.
A short resume of the projects are as follows together with a contact name for further information
Cross Border Collaboration
Development of a toolkit covering the following elements:
Curricular models for collaboration to put in place 14-16 and 16-19 curriculum
Assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the models
A project investigating students attitudes towards the use of the welsh language – conduced at some Welsh medium and bilingual schools in Carmarthenshire and Powys. Further recommendations in developing an awareness programme.
Support for NEET young people aged 14-19 in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan. The project was to re-engage NEET young people aged 14-19 into positive pathways by providing intensive personal support and co-ordinating individually funded flexible provision for each young person to help address a wide range of issues which might be barriers to moving forward.
Development of Moodle as an E-Learning platform across the Wrexham Network. Moodle now supports work based learning/pupil support/ all Secondary Schools/Colleges and the Advisory Team through a central E-Learning portal site. Developments to support communications across the network are co-ordinated through mychoicewrexham.com
Wrexham has undertaken work associated with Personal Information Sharing Protocols and Learner Tracking. They have also sort legal advise to overcome some of the issues relating to Data Protection. As a result of the work undertaken they have produce protocols for Information Sharing and Guidance for 14-19 Networks which will be hosted on the Wrexham 14-19 Moodle website. Within the commission they have identified issues that have prevented them from being able to track learners across different learning setting as they have been unable to use any unique identifiers for learners. This work is continuing to be developed.
Both the Executive Summary and Full Report “The Learning Coaches of Wales”, compiled by Professor Danny Saunders of the University of Glamorgan on behalf of the Welsh Assembly Government, are now available. The reports represent the findings of detailed research into the first cohort to complete Learning Coach training in Wales, including surveys and case studies of the coaches and their learners, and should be of interest to all involved in education within the 14–19 range.
Recommendations
Our developing strategy for implementing the Learning Coach function has taken account of many of the recommendations set out in this report, in partnership with Professor Saunders and with 14–19 Networks across Wales. Learning Coach Support will be available for all 14–19 year olds learners over the next four years as the requirements of the proposed Learning and Skills (Wales) Measure are implemented.
Emphasis on support
The entitlement to Learning Coach support – as a function, rather than an individual coach – is one of the six key elements of Learning Pathways policy in Wales. We believe this emphasis on support for learning as an entitlement for all 14-19 year olds learners is unique to Wales.
This report forms an important record of this distinct development.
The Welsh Assembly Government is committed to transforming educational opportunities for all young people with the introduction of Learning Pathways 14–19 into schools and colleges across Wales.
Learning Pathways 14–19 is an exciting initiative, providing our young people with a greater variety of courses and learning options than ever before.
The strategy is now in the process of being implemented, and while much work still needs to be done, significant progress has been made. A Learning Pathways 14–19 marketing look and feel has been produced, key messages developed and a campaign logo designed.
In order to build high awareness of Learning Pathways 14–19 across Wales, it is important that everyone involved in promoting, implementing or delivering Learning Pathways 14–19 has a clear understanding of the initiative.
Encourage it. Support it. Promote it.
To support you in the promotion of Learning Pathways 14–19 we have published a comprehensive design and marketing guide. It features everything you need to know about the promotion of Learning Pathways 14–19, including how to implement the look and feel.
Download it. View it. Use it!
We have generated a suite of Learning Pathways 14–19 campaign logos in many different formats for our partners to use.
The design and marketing guide and the campaign logo variations are available now for you to download. Click on the items you require.
Careers Wales Online is at the core of the Welsh Assembly Government’s skills development and e-government agenda and ‘Team Wales’ partners are encouraged to work with Careers Wales to develop the site in a way that meets shared goals
Everything you need
Current features include information on how to get started in over 600 different career areas, a database of courses and training opportunities across Wales, a CV writing Wizard, job and training vacancies for 16-19 year olds, links to other careers related websites and tips on career decision making and planning.
Recent developments include Learning Choices within Careers Wales Online, (careerswales.com), being extended to support post 14 opportunities within Learning Pathways 14-19. Offering an innovative way of delivering wider educational choice and flexibility throughout Wales by allowing learners, where schools are participating, to make Key Stage 4 choices online and save them into their own Individual Learning Plan. Schools are able to use the online system to manage their options process through live reports on learner choices.
Local Curricula Database
Careers Wales Online is currently working with the Welsh Assembly Government’s Learning Pathways 14–19 team to develop an auditing database. This database will assist Networks to co-ordinate their local curricula and the minimum requirements set out in the proposed Learning and Skills (Wales) measure.
Given that there was little, if any, curriculum co-operation between North Powys schools prior to 2007, this initiative represents an important collaborative step for all three schools. As a direct result meetings were held in the summer term 2007 between senior staff at all three schools to co-ordinate timetable issues, discuss teacher travel arrangements and manage course budgeting issues the success of the Hospitality and Catering course prompted the schools involved to collaborate on other curriculum initiatives which will lead to:
additional vocational provision in the 14-19 pathway in North Powys
the production of more effective links between partner schools and local businesses.
the expansion of breadth of pupil Options
the expansion of Learning Provider networks in North Powys
Given the geographically diverse locations of the schools, it was deemed impractical to transport pupils in significant numbers between institutions: instead it was decided that the most effective, efficient method would be to appoint one teacher to deliver the course in the three institutions.
The pupils’ learning experiences were enriched though contact with the local community and the local business community. For example:
a link with the local nursing home involved all pupils in organising a Christmas event for the residents
the manager of a local hotel, The Royal Oak, came in to work with the pupils.
activities to celebrate Welsh culture formed part of the plans for the March 2008 Eisteddford celebration
The GRe (Excellence in e-learning Centre) was established in September 2007 in order to create a learning network across the area to provide high quality bilingual e-learning to support the Learning Pathways 14-19 agenda in Gwynedd and Anglesey.
The centre is supported through the 14-19 Network by the Welsh Assembly Government.
The ICT provision is based in Maesincla Technology Centre in Caernafon. This unit has developed a wide range of services to support the use of ICT in schools. The types of e-learning services currently offered include:
Training and workshops on the use of software for school administration and teaching staff.
Producing innovative e-learning web-based resources by a team of experts.
Advisory support for teachers and advising schools o up to date materials for curriculum delivery.
The project draws on all providers in the area in order to plan and develop e-learning in its broader sense. This year resources will be produced in the following areas:
AS Religious Studies.
AS Psychology.
AS Sociology.
Child Care and Education (CACHE) at level 2.
Interactive Media at level 2.
All the interactive units are presented on line and contain notes, class questions, examination and assessment resources in addition to a range of multimedia resources (animations, videos and other interactive activities).
All the units have been written by experienced teachers and lecturers and every unit is available through NGfL Cymru (www.ngfl-cymru.org.uk).
Units for the above subjects will also be produced and placed within a VLE (where a school or college can add their own activities).
An innovative and exciting Information and Advice website serving the young people of Cardiff.
It has long been recognised that there is a need to develop impartial information and advice on a range of support services available to young people. In Cardiff we have taken a multi-agency approach led by the Cardiff 14-19 Learning Pathways team and the Children and Young People’s Partnership.
We hope that this website will engage young people at a variety of levels – it will attract them to the events and activities taking place across the city, encourages the Learner Voice in a more informal setting and provides a vast amount of information to support young people at point of need – so will be a useful resource for our Learning Coaches that are working with our young people in the city.
Attractive and engaging
We have commissioned Promo Cymru to develop a website to help fulfil the identified need to provide information to young people in an attractive and engaging format. Research has indicated that a dry information site fails to attract young people and so theSprout www.thesprout.co.uk has been designed to be attractive and interactive for young people.
The site was born in October 2007 and has been systematically modified and improved over the past 12 months as a direct result of feedback and evaluations from young people in a variety of settings and from a young people’s user group.
Young editors
The contract for the web development of theSprout is managed by the Cardiff Children and Young People’s Partnership’s information officer. The CYPP have direct oversight of the content of the website so that pictures, photographs videos, news articles, comments etc. are quality controlled. An editorial board of young people has been created in order that the content and information on organisations providing services for young people meets the requirements of all young people across the city.
The team is now engaged in creating user groups in all 22 high schools, the 3 FE colleges and the 23 youth centres across the city to provide as broad as possible contact with the 14-19 age group.

Mae'n bleser gennyf gyflwyno cylchlythyr cyntaf yr eGylchgrawn Llwybrau Dysgu 14-19 a ddaw'n nodwedd reolaidd yn y sector addysg a hyfforddiant. Ei ddiben yw rhoi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf am y broses o weithredu a chyflwyno'r Llwybrau Dysgu 14-19.
Yr hyn sy'n gweithio orau i bobl ifanc sydd wedi llywio ein gwaith datblygu ar gyfer y rhaglen Llwybrau Dysgu 14-19 nodedig yng Nghymru. Gwnaed hyn drwy bartneriaeth a arweiniwyd gan Lywodraeth Cynulliad Cymru ond a lywiwyd gan y rhai sy'n gweithredu'r rhaglen - ymarferwyr a'r bobl ifanc eu hunain.
Partneriaeth
Wrth galon Llwybrau Dysgu mae'r hyblygrwydd i ddiwallu anghenion pob dysgwr drwy lwybr dysgu unigol ac rydym mewn sefyllfa unigryw i gynnig llawer mwy o ddewis i'n pobl ifanc, ynghyd â chymorth penodol nad oedd ar gael i ddysgwyr yn y gorffennol. Gyda chymorth pob un o'n partneriaid, mae cyfle gwirioneddol i ehangu dewisiadau i'n pobl ifanc.
Pecyn pwerus
Cyfrinach llwyddiant Llwybrau Dysgu 14-19 yw'r ymrwymiad i gyfle cyfartal a chyfiawnder cymdeithasol sy'n rhan o'r chwe elfen allweddol. Bydd hyn yn ein helpu i gyd i gyflawni'n dyheadau ar gyfer dysgwyr sydd dan anfantais yn ogystal â'r rhai mwyaf dawnus. Mae gan bob dysgwr hawl i ddewis ehangach yn ei ddysgu ffurfiol yn ogystal â phrofiadau a gweithgareddau ehangach, a chefnogaeth, fel y gall pob un o'n pobl ifanc gyflawni eu potensial. Mae'n becyn pwerus.
Dywedwch wrthym
Mae eich gwybodaeth a'ch profiad yn amhrisiadwy a chroesawn eich cyfraniadau a'ch syniadau ar sut y gallwn wella ein dulliau o gyfathrebu â'n partneriaid i gyd yn barhaus.
Ym mis Hydref 2007 comisiynodd Llywodraeth Cynulliad Cymru nifer o brosiectau i helpu i ddatblygu agenda Llwybrau Dysgu 14-19. Cynhaliwyd digwyddiad rhannu gwybodaeth ar 20 Hydref 2008 i adrodd nôl i'r holl Rwydweithiau am ganlyniadau'r comisiynau hyn.
Mae crynodeb byr o'r prosiectau'n dilyn ynghyd ag enw cyswllt i gael rhagor o wybodaeth:
Cydweithredu Trawsffiniol
Datblygu pecyn adnoddau sy'n cynnwys yr elfennau canlynol:
Modelau cwricwlaidd ar gyfer cydweithredu i roi cwricwlwm 14-16 a 16-19 ar waith
Asesu cryfderau a gwendidau'r modelau
Goblygiadau teithio a materion sy'n ymwneud â'r amserlen
Modelau lleol a generig
Defnyddio TG - Fideo-gynadledda a'r Amgylchedd Dysgu Rhithwir (VLE)
Datblygu Strategaeth NEET ar gyfer Sir Gaerfyrddin sydd bellach wedi meithrin cysylltiadau agosach ag ysgolion ynghyd â rhestr a rennir o ddisgyblion blwyddyn 11 sy'n gadael yr ysgol.
Prosiect sy'n ymchwilio i agweddau myfyrwyr tuag at ddefnyddio'r Gymraeg – a gynhaliwyd mewn rhai ysgolion cyfrwng Cymraeg a dwyieithog yn Sir Gaerfyrddin a Phowys. Argymhellion pellach o ran datblygu rhaglen ymwybyddiaeth.
Pecyn adnoddau y gall ysgolion, colegau a darparwyr dysgu seiliedig ar waith ei ddefnyddio i gyflwyno sgiliau allweddol i ddysgwr yn ystod profiad sy'n canolbwyntio ar waith.
Cymorth ar gyfer pobl ifanc 14-19 oed nad ydynt mewn addysg, cyflogaeth na hyfforddiant yng Nghaerdydd a Bro Morgannwg. Bwriad y prosiect oedd ailgyflwyno pobl ifanc 14-19 oed nad oeddent mewn cyflogaeth, addysg na hyfforddiant i lwybrau cadarnhaol drwy ddarparu cymorth personol dwys a chydgysylltu darpariaeth hyblyg a ariennir yn unigol ar gyfer pob person ifanc er mwyn mynd i'r afael ag ystod eang o faterion a allai fod yn rhwystrau i symud ymlaen.
Datblygu Moodle fel llwyfan E-Ddysgu ar draws Rhwydwaith Wrecsam. Mae Moodle bellach yn cefnogi dysgu seiliedig ar waith/cymorth i ddisgyblion/ pob Ysgol Uwchradd/Coleg a'r Tîm Cynghori drwy borth E-Ddysgu canolog. Cydlynir datblygiadau i gefnogi cyfathrebu ar draws y rhwydwaith drwy fynewisiwrecsam.com
Mae Wrecsam wedi ymgymryd â gwaith sy'n gysylltiedig â Phrotocolau Rhannu Gwybodaeth Bersonol ac Olrhain Dysgwr. Mae hefyd wedi ceisio cyngor cyfreithiol i oresgyn rhai o'r problemau sy'n gysylltiedig â Diogelu Data. O ganlyniad i'r gwaith a wnaed, mae wedi llunio protocolau ar gyfer Rhannu Gwybodaeth a Chanllawiau ar gyfer Rhwydweithiau 14-19 a gaiff eu dangos ar wefan Moodle 14-19 Wrecsam. O fewn y comisiwn, mae wedi nodi materion sydd wedi'i atal rhag gallu olrhain dysgwyr ar draws gwahanol leoliadau dysgu gan na fu'n bosibl defnyddio dynodydd unigryw ar gyfer dysgwyr. Mae'r gwaith hwn yn parhau i gael ei ddatblygu.
Mae Crynodeb Gweithredol ac Adroddiad Llawn “Anogwyr Dysgu Cymru”, a luniwyd gan yr Athro Danny Saunders o Brifysgol Morgannwg ar ran Llywodraeth Cynulliad Cymru, ar gael bellach. Mae'r adroddiad yn cyflwyno canfyddiadau gwaith ymchwil manwl i'r garfan lawn gyntaf a gwblhaodd hyfforddiant i Anogwyr Dysgu yng Nghymru, gan gynnwys arolygon ac astudiaethau achos o'r anogwyr a'u dysgwyr, a dylai fod o ddiddordeb i bawb sy'n gysylltiedig ag addysg o fewn yr ystod oedran 14-19.
Argymhellion
Mae ein strategaeth sy'n datblygu ar gyfer gweithredu swyddogaeth yr Anogwr Dysgu wedi ystyried nifer o'r argymhellion a nodir yn yr adroddiad hwn, mewn partneriaeth â'r Athro Saunders a Rhwydweithiau 14-19 ledled Cymru. Bydd Cymorth gan Anogwr Dysgu ar gael i bob dysgwr 14-19 oed yn ystod y pedair blynedd nesaf wrth i ofynion y Mesur Dysgu a Sgiliau (Cymru) arfaethedig gael eu gweithredu.
Pwyslais ar gymorth
Mae'r hawl i gymorth gan Anogwr Dysgu – fel swyddogaeth, yn hytrach nag anogwr unigol - yn un o chwe elfen allweddol y polisi Llwybrau Dysgu yng Nghymru. Credwn fod y pwyslais hwn ar gymorth ar gyfer dysgu fel hawl i bob dysgwr 14-19 oed yn unigryw i Gymru.
Mae'r adroddiad hwn yn gofnod pwysig o'r datblygiad nodedig hwn.
Mae Llywodraeth Cynulliad Cymru wedi ymrwymo i drawsnewid cyfleoedd addysgol i bob person ifanc drwy gyflwyno Llwybrau Dysgu 14-19 mewn ysgolion a cholegau ledled Cymru.
Mae Llwybrau Dysgu 14-19 yn fenter gyffrous sy'n rhoi gwell amrywiaeth o gyrsiau a chyfleoedd dysgu nag erioed o'r blaen i'n pobl ifanc.
Mae'r strategaeth bellach yn cael ei gweithredu ac er bod llawer o waith ar ôl i'w wneud, gwnaed cynnydd sylweddol. Cynhyrchwyd delwedd farchnata ar gyfer Llwybrau Dysgu 14-19, datblygwyd negeseuon allweddol a chynlluniwyd logo ar gyfer yr ymgyrch.
Er mwyn sicrhau ymwybyddiaeth uchel o Lwybrau Dysgu 14-19 ledled Cymru, mae'n bwysig bod pawb sy'n rhan o'r gwaith o hyrwyddo, gweithredu neu gyflwyno Llwybrau Dysgu 14-19 yn deall y fenter yn glir.
Anogwch. Cefnogwch. Hyrwyddwch.
Er mwyn eich helpu i hyrwyddo Llwybrau Dysgu 14-19, rydym wedi cyhoeddi canllaw dylunio a marchnata cynhwysfawr. Mae'n cynnwys y cyfan y mae angen i chi ei wybod am hyrwyddo Llwybrau Dysgu 14-19, gan gynnwys sut i roi'r ddelwedd ar waith.
Llwythwch i lawr. Edrychwch. Defnyddiwch!
Rydym wedi llunio cyfres o logos ar gyfer yr ymgyrch Llwybrau Dysgu 14-19 mewn llawer o wahanol fformatau i'n partneriaid eu defnyddio.
Mae'r canllaw dylunio a marchnata a'r logos amrywiol ar gael nawr i chi eu llwytho i lawr. Cliciwch ar yr eitemau sydd eu hangen arnoch.
Mae Gyrfa Cymru Ar-lein wrth galon agenda datblygu sgiliau ac e-lywodraeth Llywodraeth Cynulliad Cymru ac anogir partneriaid ‘Tîm Cymru’ i weithio gyda Gyrfa Cymru i ddatblygu'r wefan mewn ffordd sy'n bodloni nodau a rennir.
Y cyfan sydd ei angen arnoch
Ymhlith y nodweddion presennol mae gwybodaeth am sut i ddechrau mewn dros 600 o feysydd gyrfa gwahanol, cronfa ddata o gyrsiau a chyfleoedd hyfforddi ledled Cymru, rhaglen ysgrifennu CV, swyddi gwag a chyfleoedd hyfforddi ar gyfer pobl 16-19 oed, dolenni i wefannau eraill sy'n ymwneud â gyrfaoedd a chynghorion ar wneud penderfyniadau ynghylch gyrfa a chynllunio gyrfa.
Mae datblygiadau diweddar yn cynnwys ehangu Dewis Dysgu yn Gyrfa Cymru Ar-lein, (gyrfacymru.com), i gefnogi cyfleoedd ôl-14 o fewn Llwybrau Dysgu 14-19. Cynnig ffordd arloesol o ddarparu dewis a hyblygrwydd addysgol ehangach ledled Cymru drwy alluogi dysgwyr, lle bo'u hysgolion yn cymryd rhan, i wneud dewisiadau Cyfnod Allweddol 4 ar-lein a'u cadw yn eu Cynlluniau Dysgu Unigol. Mae ysgolion yn gallu defnyddio'r system ar-lein i reoli eu hopsiynau drwy gael adroddiadau byw ar ddewisiadau dysgwyr.
Cronfa ddata Cwricwla Lleol
Ar hyn o bryd mae Gyrfa Cymru Ar-lein yn gweithio gyda thîm Llwybrau Dysgu 14-19 Llywodraeth Cynulliad Cymru i ddatblygu cronfa ddata archwilio. Bydd y gronfa ddata yn cynorthwyo Rhwydweithiau i gydlynu eu cwricwla lleol a'r gofynion sylfaenol a nodir yn y mesur dysgu a sgiliau arfaethedig.
O ystyried nad oedd llawer o gydweithio mewn perthynas â'r cwricwlwm, os o gwbl, yn digwydd rhwng ysgolion Gogledd Powys cyn 2007, mae'r fenter hon yn cynrychioli cam cydweithredol pwysig ar gyfer pob un o'r tair ysgol. O ganlyniad uniongyrchol, cynhaliwyd cyfarfodydd yn nhymor yr haf 2007 rhwng uwch staff ym mhob un o'r tair ysgol i gydlynu materion amserlen, trafod trefniadau teithio athrawon a rheoli materion yn ymwneud â chyllidebau cyrsiau. Anogodd llwyddiant y cwrs Lletygarwch ac Arlwyo yr ysgolion dan sylw i gydweithio ar fentrau cwricwlaidd eraill a fydd yn arwain at:
ddarpariaeth alwedigaethol ychwanegol yn y llwybr 14-19 yng Ngogledd Powys
creu cysylltiadau mwy effeithiol rhwng ysgolion partner a busnesau lleol
ehangu cwmpas Opsiynau disgyblion
ehangu rhwydweithiau Darparwyr Dysgu yng Ngogledd Powys
O gofio lleoliadau daearyddol amrywiol yr ysgolion, nid oedd yn ymarferol cludo niferoedd sylweddol o ddisgyblion o un sefydliad i'r llall:
yn hytrach, penderfynwyd mai'r dull mwyaf effeithiol ac effeithlon fyddai penodi un athro i gyflwyno'r cwrs ym mhob un o'r tri sefydliad.
Cyfoethogwyd profiadau dysgu'r disgyblion drwy gyswllt â'r gymuned leol a'r gymuned fusnes leol. Er enghraifft:
roedd cysylltiad â'r cartref nyrsio lleol wedi golygu bod yr holl ddisgyblion wedi trefnu digwyddiad Nadolig i'r preswylwyr
daeth rheolwr gwesty lleol, y Royal Oak, i weithio gyda'r disgyblion.
roedd gweithgareddau i ddathlu diwylliant Cymru yn rhan o'r cynlluniau ar gyfer dathliad Eisteddfod mis Mawrth 2008
Sefydlwyd y Ganolfan Rhagoriaeth mewn e-ddysgu ym mis Medi 2007 er mwyn creu rhwydwaith dysgu ar draws yr ardal i ddarparu e-ddysgu dwyieithog o safon i gefnogi agenda Llwybrau Dysgu 14-19 yng Ngwynedd ac Ynys Môn.
Cefnogir y ganolfan drwy'r Rhwydwaith 14-19 gan Lywodraeth Cynulliad Cymru.
Mae'r ddarpariaeth TGCh wedi'i lleoli yng Nghanolfan Dechnoleg Maesincla yng Nghaernarfon. Mae'r uned hon wedi datblygu ystod eang o wasanaethau i gefnogi'r defnydd o TGCh mewn ysgolion. Mae'r mathau o wasanaethau e-ddysgu a gynigir ar hyn o bryd yn cynnwys:
Hyfforddiant a gweithdai ar ddefnyddio meddalwedd ar gyfer staff gweinydd ac addysg mewn ysgolion.
Cynhyrchu adnoddau e-ddysgu arloesol ar y we gan dîm o arbenigwyr.
Cymorth ymgynghorol ar gyfer athrawon a rhoi gwybod i ysgolion am ddeunyddiau cyfredol ar gyfer cyflwyno'r cwricwlwm.
Mae'r prosiect yn defnyddio'r holl ddarparwyr yn yr ardal er mwyn cynllunio a datblygu e-ddysgu yn ei ystyr ehangach. Eleni cynhyrchir adnoddau yn y meysydd canlynol:
UG Astudiaethau Addysg Grefyddol.
UG Seicoleg.
UG Cymdeithaseg.
Gofal ac Addysg Plant (CACHE) ar Lefel 2.
Cyfryngau Rhyngweithiol ar lefel 2.
Cyflwynir pob un o'r unedau rhyngweithiol ar-lein ac maent yn cynnwys nodiadau, cwestiynau dosbarth, adnoddau arholiadau ac asesu, yn ogystal ag amrywiaeth o adnoddau amlgyfrwng (animeiddiadau, fideos a gweithgareddau rhyngweithiol eraill).
Ysgrifennwyd pob un o'r unedau gan athrawon a darlithwyr profiadol ac mae pob uned ar gael gan GCaD Cymru (www.gcad-cymru.org.uk).
Caiff yr unedau ar gyfer y pynciau uchod eu cynhyrchu a'u rhoi mewn Amgylchedd Dysgu Rhithwir (VLE) hefyd (lle gall ysgol neu goleg ychwanegu eu gweithgareddau eu hunain).
Gwefan Wybodaeth a Chyngor arloesol a chyffrous sy'n gwasanaethu pobl ifanc yng Nghaerdydd.
Cydnabuwyd ers tro fod angen datblygu gwybodaeth a chyngor diduedd am ystod o wasanaethau cymorth sydd ar gael i bobl ifanc. Yng Nghaerdydd rydym mabwysiadu dull gweithredu amlasiantaeth o dan arweiniad tîm Llwybrau Dysgu 14-19 Caerdydd a'r Bartneriaeth Plant a Phobl Ifanc.
Gobeithiwn y bydd y wefan yn ymgysylltu â phobl ifanc ar lefelau amrywiol - bydd yn eu denu i'r digwyddiadau a'r gweithgareddau a gynhelir ar draws y ddinas, yn annog Llais y Dysgwr mewn ffordd lai ffurfiol ac yn rhoi llawer iawn o wybodaeth i gefnogi pobl ifanc lle bo'i hangen - felly bydd yn adnodd defnyddiol ar gyfer ein Hanogwyr Dysgu sy'n gweithio gyda'n pobl ifanc yn y ddinas.
Deniadol a diddorol
Rydym wedi comisiynu Promo Cymru i ddatblygu gwefan i helpu i ddiwallu'r angen a nodwyd i roi gwybodaeth i bobl ifanc mewn fformat deniadol a diddorol. Mae gwaith ymchwil wedi nodi nad yw gwefan wybodaeth diflas yn denu pobl ifanc ac felly cynlluniwyd theSprout www.thesprout.co.uk i fod yn ddeniadol ac yn rhyngweithiol i bobl ifanc.
Crëwyd y wefan ym mis Hydref 2007 ac mae wedi'i haddasu a'i gwella'n sylweddol yn ystod y 12 mis diwethaf o ganlyniad uniongyrchol i adborth a gwerthusiadau gan bobl ifanc mewn amrywiaeth o leoliadau a grŵp defnyddwyr o bobl ifanc.
Golygyddion ifanc
Caiff y contract ar gyfer datblygu gwefan theSprout ei reoli gan swyddog gwybodaeth Partneriaeth Plant a Phobl Ifanc Caerdydd. Mae'r Bartneriaeth yn goruchwylio cynnwys y wefan yn uniongyrchol fel y gellir rheoli ansawdd lluniau, ffotograffau, fideos, erthyglau newyddion, sylwadau ac ati. Sefydlwyd bwrdd golygyddol o bobl ifanc fel bod y cynnwys a'r wybodaeth am sefydliadau sy'n darparu gwasanaethau ar gyfer pobl ifanc yn bodloni gofynion pob person ifanc ar draws y ddinas.
Mae'r tîm bellach yn creu grwpiau defnyddwyr ym mhob un o'r 22 ysgol uwchradd, y tri choleg AB a'r 23 o ganolfannau ieuenctid ar draws y ddinas i gael cyswllt mor eang â phosibl â'r grŵp oedran 14-19.
