The Integration of Learning and Work • Specific Employer Context • Team Context Situated Learning Bespoke content • Job Role • Development Needs Individual learning plans / learning contracts Cohort learning plans /learning contracts • Current Duties A Haldane,R Staniforth, L Newman-Ford ALT-C 2010

  7. Experiential Learning • Life (long learning) is what happens while you’re busy doing other things (John Lennon) • University interventions • can stimulate, structure, support, enrich and recognise achievement • Meta-competence; analysis, reflection, problem solving, research and enquiry, practical application of knowledge A Haldane,R Staniforth, L Newman-Ford ALT-C 2010

  8. Delivery ; Personal Development and Business Improvement Work-integrated Learning Process Model • University Support • Learning Resources/VLE • Employer Support/Mentoring A Haldane,R Staniforth, L Newman-Ford ALT-C 2010

  9. Qualification Framework/Curriculum Design • Generic module descriptors/learning outcomes • Reflective and analytical accounts • Work-related research projects • Enquiry-based learning • Work-based learning projects • Focus • Personal development • Organisational improvement • Tools/case studies eg. TEL-WFD,TELSTAR,WELL,CO-EDUCATE,CO-GENT A Haldane,R Staniforth, L Newman-Ford ALT-C 2010

  10. Learning Plan/Contract-APEL • Establish baseline and learning goals • Establish/ justify level of credit within academic infrastructure • Establish/ justify volume of credit through specification of outputs • Relate generic learning outcomes/assessment criteria to specific context • Tools/case studies eg. PINEAPPLE, CO-GENT,TEL-WFD,TELSTAR,WELL,E-APEL, A Haldane,R Staniforth, L Newman-Ford ALT-C 2010

  11. Delivery • E-portfolio • Reflective Accounts • Project/research activity • Synchronous Seminars/Practical Sessions • Video conferencing • Jeff Lewis session 0063 rm1 9.00 Weds. • E-learning resources A Haldane,R Staniforth, L Newman-Ford ALT-C 2010

  12. Staff DevelopmentTEL-WFD • “How to” learning objects • Practice what you preach • Utilise ‘M’ levelWBL framework modules (learning contract, project, research etc) • Outputs • Case study • Learning objects A Haldane,R Staniforth, L Newman-Ford ALT-C 2010

  13. Marketing If a generic WBL framework can be contextualised to meet the needs of specific sectors and to individual employers then how can we generate similarly contextualised marketing information? A Haldane,R Staniforth, L Newman-Ford ALT-C 2010

  14. eXchange of Course Related Information - XCRI • XCRI is a JISC-supported, UK-oriented, non sector specific initiative to establish a common specification for exchanging detailed information about courses and modules. • XCRI-CAP is a standard enabling learning providers to publish course information in a readily searchable format not only to potentially to UCAS but also to other agencies employers and employees. • An integrated portfolio of short and long course offerings across HE departments can improve the marketing opportunity to external audiences including CPD markets. A Haldane,R Staniforth, L Newman-Ford ALT-C 2010

  15. The XCRI Opportunity Exchange and advertising of accredited short course information across HEIs, FE, Skills councils and others should: • Dramatically improve the breadth, flexibility and depth of opportunity to adult learners • Offer the facility to design bespoke courses mixing byte sized accreditation across institutions • Add value to Life Long Learning and CPPD • Encourage collaboration between institutions locally • Improve blended/distance learning offerings • Reduce duplication and redundancy of courses A Haldane,R Staniforth, L Newman-Ford ALT-C 2010

  16. Experiential Learning • Life (long learning) is what happens while you’re busy doing other things (John Lennon) • University interventions • can stimulate, structure, support, enrich and recognise achievement • Meta-competence; analysis, reflection, problem solving, research and enquiry, practical application of knowledge A Haldane,R Staniforth, L Newman-Ford ALT-C 2010
