  1. The HEAR: technical developments 8 March 2012 Macdonald Burlington Hotel, Birmingham, 10.00a.m. – 3.00p.m.

  2. The HEAR c/f Diploma Supplement • Uses key building blocks (sections) of the DS information: • identifying the holder of the qualification • identifying the qualification • the level of qualification • the contents and results gained • the function of the qualification • Additional information • Certification • the national HE System

  3. The HEAR c/f Diploma Supplement The Differences • Paper based • Issued on completion of course • Academic achievements only • Recognised internationally via the “label” • Student record systems hold most of the data • Not accessible electronically by students • Electronic format and possibly paper • Live document referred to during the study by students/ tutors • Academic and personal achievements • Recognised in the UK (currently) • Student record systems do not hold information on personal achievements • Accessible electronically thus it opens new potential

  4. A (non-technical) place to start… Requires a combined effort…strong working relationships between staff from Registry, IT services, Teaching and Learning, Careers and Employability and the Students Union… An electronic document/dataset… the definitive student record (Issue at graduation, storage post graduation, where, how, for how long, continued access)… A formative function… developed over the student lifecycle, updated periodically (access, for review by key players within the institution, (with the students permission, for permitted external audiences, employers/postgraduate tutors)…

  5. Technical stuff… The specification is at: http://www.xcri.org/wiki/index.php/HEAR_1.0b_Specification The HEAR technical documentation is available at: http://www.xcri.org/wiki/index.php/HEAR#Working_Areas.
