The CCF project at Kendal College was set up to look at five individual aspects of blended learning and the use of online technologies based on the strengths of our IT champions.
Five individual projects were set up that has enabled staff across the college to participate in a variety of staff development and upskilling opportunities, that has better developed our teaching, learning and assessment practice.
Kendal College – 5 mini projects carried out:
- Greenroom creation (videos on how to use a green screen to enhance TLA)
- Looking at the impact and choice of a network platform

Aside from sharing the project materials with fellow CCF Colleges and partners, the project has led to the following outcomes at Kendal College:
