RIPPLL - Regional Interoperability Project on Progression for Lifelong Learning

The RIPPLL project aims to support transition and progression in lifelong learning through the use of ePortfolios. It builds on existing partnerships and aims to join up systems in the region, supporting the Widening Participation agenda. The project focuses on a wider range of learners and involves HEIs, FE colleges, training providers, Connexions, and local employers.

Presentation Transcript

  1. RIPPLL Regional Interoperability Project on Progression for Lifelong Learning

  2. The consortium • Both Nottingham HEIs (University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University) • City of Nottingham Passport (LEA) • Nottingham FE Colleges • Local employers

  3. Background • FDTL project at UoN: PARs • 2000-02 ‘Making the Links’ • 2003-05 ‘Specifying an ePortfolio’ (JISC MLE phase 2) • 2005-06 JISC ePortfolio Reference Model project (eP4LL) • 2005-06 RIPPLL project (JISC DeL Regional Pilot programme)

  4. Context • Focus on transition supported by ePortfolio • Build on and extend existing partnerships • Towards a regional identity: joining up systems in the region • Support WP agenda • Focus on a wider range of learners

  5. Interoperability pedigree • 2003 data transfer ePARs and LUSID • Early 2005: UK LeaP transfer CoNP to ePARs • 2005: consultation with UCAS for using UK LeaP for application data

  6. Pedagogic strand • Wide range of learners, including vocational pathways • Progression from study-study, study-work, work-study • Scenario/use case methodology

  7. Pedagogic strand (2) • Work with HEIs, FE, training providers, Connexions, local employers • Use cases published on web site for wider consultation • Focus on need for continuity and progression (learners regress after transition)

  8. Pedagogic successes • Through involvement of CoNP we have support of all FE colleges in the region • Sharing the HE vision/experience across platforms • Building a regional identity

  9. Technical work: overview • Joining up systems • Development of HE electronic PDP system • Transition to local HEIs from CoNP • Electronic application to FE • Shibboleth

  10. Joining up systems • Building on previous experience using UK LeaP (BS 8788) standard • Technical consortium have agreed minimum data set (identity data + personal statement) • Demonstrated lifelong learner journey by passing one individual’s data across 5 transitions: KS4, FE, HE and employment

  11. PDP at NTU • Existing system based on dowloadable Word templates • These are being converted to HTML input forms: granular data is stored in databases, enabling interoperability transfers into and out of the system

  12. CoNP to Nottingham HE • ‘New Entrant Profile’ for UoN embedded in CoNP site • Joining up CoNP and NTU PDP systems so that new students can get a head start with the system once a place is confirmed

  13. Application to FE • Common application form marked up as UK LeaP • Populated automatically from PassportFolio • Communicated to College MIS systems using web services • Web services also allow feedback to schools

  14. Shibboleth • Deployed on Microsoft platform (most support documentation is Unix-based) • Dummy service between two servers at NTU • Trialling use for authentication of PDP data

  15. Where next? • Supporting sustainability of systems within the region • Involving more local employers, including SMEs • Extension of interoperability pilots to use web services • Dissemination to the wider community: the RIPPLL effect!
