Mapping OERs to the UKPSF (2011) – a case study Gillian Janes L&T Consultant Teesside University
Overview • Background • The ‘journey’ • Learning points • Next steps
Background • JISC/OER OMAC 3 funded project • Open Learning Units • Distance Learning • Digital Literacies • Employability • Achieving HEA Individual Recognition • Previous experience of KSF (2004) mapping
Why map to UKPSF? • Enables staff to plan their learning and make informed choices • Provides practical guidance for managers undertaking professional development reviews with staff • Explicitly links professional development activity to national professional recognition BUT: - mapping comes with a HEALTH WARNING!
Raises awareness of UKPSF which: • enables national recognition of staff commitment to professionalism in L&T in HE and is a portable asset with UK-wide relevance, increasingly recognised by HE and FE institutions • Provides an indicator of professional identity for HE practitioners, including the entitlement to use post-nominal letters – AFHEA, FHEA, SFHEA,PFHEA
Learning from the process: • You need the ‘right’ people/expertise • Be ready for ‘head scratching’ and debate • The mapping process may lead to changes in the object being mapped • Mapping alone is not enough • Potential users may be facing ‘multiple mapping’
We’re not in a vacuum…. • What about other Professional Frameworks? • CMALT • AUA • VITAE • CILIP • Others…
Details of the draft CILIP Professional Knowledge and Skills Base professional framework have been removed. Please contact G.Janes@tees.ac.uk if you require further information on this.
Next steps • Piloting Open Learning Units and mapping guidance • Potential colloquium to consider joint mapping/synergies between Professional Frameworks
