IELC is a learning community of Islamic educators (anyone working in or teaching Muslim learners aged from 3-18 years). We have created an online platform designed to facilitate exchange between Islamic scholarship, educational research and Islamic educational settings. We are hosted by Camtree and are a project of Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation.
IELC supports teachers and educators to engage in reflective practice and conduct their own classroom research inquiries, in order to improve learning. We offer professional development courses, a community of like minded people and regular webinars. We draw on the wider content of Camtree and also provide our own context specific platform and content.

Our research exchange platform will enable educators to learn with, from, and on behalf of, like-minded colleagues around the world as they develop research studies and innovations. Educators can draw on online courses, webinars, and expert advice, as well as examples of effective inquiries from other teachers. And, they can share and publish their research in our free-to-access digital library.

IELC develops courses for educators to engage with. Our courses on, ‘The Prophetic Pedagogy of Dialogic Halaqah’ have been developed alongside other free courses on Educational Dialogue and a teacher toolkit for educational dialogue (T-SEDA) which is available on the Camtree site.
This course equips Islamic educators with the knowledge and skills to use dialogic halaqah in their classrooms with the aim of developing shakhsiyah Islamiyah (Muslim personhood).
This course explores the dialogic halaqah and its importance; how dialogic moves contribute to shakhsiyah Islamiyah; and how to plan an inquiry into dialogic practice.
All our courses can be taken as self-paced as they are asynchronous. This means that you can work through them at any time that suits you. Each course is divided into six sections or ‘weeks’ with each ‘week’ taking 2 to 3 hours to complete. As the course is self-paced, you do not need to meet any weekly targets but this structure may help you stay on track. If you would like to complete a self paced course contact us at ielc@isfnet.org.uk.
We have found that educators benefit from taking the courses as a group, with a facilitator to support their learning. Your school or school networks may wish to do this. We run our courses throughout the year and you can join a scheduled one or we can run one for your school. Please contact ielc@isfnet.org.uk.
