what is ELLI?
ELLI (Effective Lifelong Learning Inventory) is an exciting new idea that has captured the imagination of many teachers. It demonstrates that when teachers are able to focus on what really matters in the classroom - learning - they can create a climate which helps people actually get better at the process of learning itself.

the dimensions of learning power
ELLI comes from Bristol University’s School of Education where researchers carried out extensive studies into what makes some people interested in learning throughout their lives, while others drop out of the system early on. Read more…
They identified seven dimensions which
describe a person’s motivation or power to learn:
- Changing and Learning
- Meaning Making
- Curiosity
- Creativity
- Learning Relationships
- Resilience
- Strategic Awareness
By increasing awareness of these learning dimensions and by fostering them in the classroom, teachers are able to stimulate learning power and help people to become better learners.
What is ELOISE?
ELOISE is a questionnaire designed to find out how learners perceive themselves in relation to the seven dimensions of learning power. Assessing their learning power in this way helps people to become more self-aware as learners and decide what to do next to get better at learning.
