Not another web site please! • Because there are too many places to look at already • My home/college/business operates in several regions • We need coherent approaches that allow unlimited customisation – like ordnance survey • Other portals or websites can embed and localise the services within their own facilities
A portal built on standardised services • Intention is a service-based portal • The “services” will address issues that most LLNs see as fundamental and draw on national expertise • The approaches taken extend previous work (JISC programmes) and could serve as a model nationally • Other portals or websites can embed the services within their own facilities
Example: Course Information services • Course browse and search • Progression routes at a detailed local provision level • Continuous professional development • Modular credit accumulation scheme • Skills and competency searches
