  1. RIPPLL Regional Interoperability Project on Progression for Lifelong Learning

  2. The consortium • Both Nottingham HEIs (University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University) • City of Nottingham Passport (LEA) • Nottingham FE Colleges • Local employers

  3. Background • FDTL project at UoN: PARs • 2000-02 ‘Making the Links’ • 2003-05 ‘Specifying an ePortfolio’ (JISC MLE phase 2) • 2005-06 JISC ePortfolio Reference Model project (eP4LL) • 2005-06 RIPPLL project (JISC DeL Regional Pilot programme)

  4. Context • Focus on transition supported by ePortfolio • Build on and extend existing partnerships • Towards a regional identity: joining up systems in the region • Support WP agenda • Focus on a wider range of learners

  5. Interoperability pedigree • 2003 data transfer ePARs and LUSID • Early 2005: UK LeaP transfer CoNP to ePARs • 2005: consultation with UCAS for using UK LeaP for application data

  6. Pedagogic strand • Wide range of learners, including vocational pathways • Progression from study-study, study-work, work-study • Scenario/use case methodology

  7. Pedagogic strand (2) • Work with HEIs, FE, training providers, Connexions, local employers • Use cases published on web site for wider consultation • Focus on need for continuity and progression (learners regress after transition)

  8. Pedagogic successes • Through involvement of CoNP we have support of all FE colleges in the region • Sharing the HE vision/experience across platforms • Building a regional identity

  9. Technical work: overview • Joining up systems • Development of HE electronic PDP system • Transition to local HEIs from CoNP • Electronic application to FE • Shibboleth

  10. Joining up systems • Building on previous experience using UK LeaP (BS 8788) standard • Technical consortium have agreed minimum data set (identity data + personal statement) • Demonstrated lifelong learner journey by passing one individual’s data across 5 transitions: KS4, FE, HE and employment

  11. PDP at NTU • Existing system based on dowloadable Word templates • These are being converted to HTML input forms: granular data is stored in databases, enabling interoperability transfers into and out of the system

  12. CoNP to Nottingham HE • ‘New Entrant Profile’ for UoN embedded in CoNP site • Joining up CoNP and NTU PDP systems so that new students can get a head start with the system once a place is confirmed

  13. Application to FE • Common application form marked up as UK LeaP • Populated automatically from PassportFolio • Communicated to College MIS systems using web services • Web services also allow feedback to schools

  14. Shibboleth • Deployed on Microsoft platform (most support documentation is Unix-based) • Dummy service between two servers at NTU • Trialling use for authentication of PDP data

  15. Where next? • Supporting sustainability of systems within the region • Involving more local employers, including SMEs • Extension of interoperability pilots to use web services • Dissemination to the wider community: the RIPPLL effect!
