The Modernising Scottish Higher National Provision project, supported by the European Social Fund, aims to modernize and innovate assessment and learning tools for HN awards in Scotland. It complements the Higher National modernization program, with a total project value of £2,834,201. The project duration is from August 2004 to September 2006. Expected outputs include assessment exemplars, learning packs, online assessments, mapped websites, and learner guides. The goal is to increase recognition of HNC/Ds, improve e-learning experiences, enhance employability skills, and support lifelong learning strategies. The project offers assessment exemplars, teaching resources, online assessments, e-learning support, and a screening tool for core skills in various curriculum areas.
