The toolbox  allowed us to look at resources in a structured way -  using the learner journey as a guide to what and how to use the resources. the group of DTLLS tutors using these resources thought the layout and ease of use of the website was good, some of the resources might need a better introduction to what they are and how they can be used ( i suppose that the project will have generated some good practice examples which would be a good addition to the website )

The project gave some valuable real life opportunities to share good practice, show others what we're doing and firmly focuse the idea that resources are about helping the learners , involving learners and having an impact in the classroom.
The project also raised the profile of where and what type of resources are available - many of our new tutors are new to IT/ICT/ILT and indeed to teaching.

Some of the simple resources have been the most productive, although learners and tutors were initially attracted to the animation resources. We're hoping to get more tutors to try out the Job Match resource - it's something that we need to investigate further with our learners particularly in light of the large number of employability courses we run.

the project timelines were a bit tight, but we're hoping that some of the resources will be "slow burners " and their use will slowly spread - some of the resources that were popular ( animoto , quizlet, Poll ) will be shared at a newly proposed show and tell session. 
The latter " show and tell " session is also a direct result of this project, the group enjoyed taking part in the project ( thanks LSIS and Vic ) and it's reinforecd the idea of having  more structure around the sharing of this type of resource and effective practice in ILT generally.
