Supporting work-based learning Project Director: Prof Mark Stiles Project Manager: Fleur Corfield
Where we started from: • Created Use Cases • Drawing on experience and tools from previous projects • SURF WBL & X4L • SUNIWE • Idea of “access for all”
Lessons Learnt • Software available – no “one fits all” • Contacts given high importance by those delivering courses • Standardisation of information difficult to implement when impacts across Faculties/ Services and Institutions
Issues Encountered & (Some) Resolved • Employers / mentors have immediate access to information on employee learning • No easy reference to generic support materials • Reluctance from Employers to invest time • No centralised information about WBL across SURF • Isolation of learners, mentors and employer
Further Work • Managed security of information • Centralised, standardised award/ module information • Developing communities • Enable
