  25. 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

  26. 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

  27. 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

  28. xcri | example implementation Institutions Publish XCRI XML Learners Search the Aggregator

  29. Portal features: more than a website • Adapts to your role: learner, employer, advisor etc • Individualised for logged-in users • Two-way traffic of information • Business intelligence, Skills gaps • IAG experts growing a resource • Services deployable from other entry points e.g. Wigan & Leigh college website • Co-operative, national development of services
