  3. Shell Project • Background • What is Shell and who is involved? • How is it going to work? • What will be the benefits? • The longer-term view

  4. Background • Regional partnerships with FE colleges • Widening Participation • Progress Files • IT based/e-learning experience & interest • Over 4000 students co-register • Current administrative processes are inefficient • Dispersed population, often in small centres • Courses not always available in local area • Travel time can be significant

  5. The JISC 1/01 Programme “Building Managed Learning Environments across HE and FE” Develop protocols and standards for the transfer of information across institutions Develop the theme of student-centred lifelong learning Explore access to and delivery of learning materials across institutions

  6. SHELL – SouthwestHostsEnhancingLifelongLearning Core Group (those who prepared the bid) University of Plymouth (lead institution) Cornwall College North Devon College Exeter College Somerset College of Arts & Technology Wider Consortium (those who provided letters of support) Bicton College City of Bristol College East Devon College Plymouth College of AD Weymouth College South Devon College Truro College Plymouth College of FE Highlands College Penwith College

  7. Project aims Improve administration – with single registrationfor all co-registering students and rapid, efficient transfer of data between partners Support VLE Development & Integration – with timely student access to partner VLE course materials, and a mechanism for transfer of results back to partner institutions Support lifelong learning – by providing access to consortium learner records for all students registered after the start of the project

  10. Benefits at the end of the project • Students should benefit from … • Single registration process at their college • Access to online learning materials at the University • Long-term access to a lifelong personal learner record via the Shell web portal • Potentially smoother transition between institutions

  11. Benefits at the end of the project • Institutions should benefit from … • Simplified registration processes • Support for widening participation • Staff access to learner records • Help in meeting the personal development agenda • A facility (based on IMS) for linking applications within an institution

  12. Benefits at the end of the project • JISC Community should benefit from … • A sizeable project linking HE & FE • Development of a lifelong learning record • A potential national framework

  13. Project phases Phase 1 (target September 2003) Implement for thecore groupof partners …using a multi-institution learner record based on qualifications achieved and in progressApproximately 100,000 students in the SCR Phase 2 (target September 2004) Implement for thewider consortium …extending the multi-institution learner record to include personal developmentApproximately 300,000 students in the SCR

  14. The Longer-Term Vision • Learner Record • Regional clusters are created and the learner record is then built from all UK FE and HE institutions • Schools are linked in • Business Processes • Registration processes are simplified by being able to draw data from a comprehensive learner source. • Awarding bodies and UCAS are linked in, fundamentally improving the effectiveness of the exchange of data on learners
