  2. Green IT • The 3 colours of Green IT • Being Greener with IT, • Using IT to help you be a Greener Organisation, • Recycling and Disposal of Waste IT

  3. Whatlinks?

  4. E-learning

  5. The Green Value Chain • Our story begins in Japan:

  6. Reduce Re-use Recover Recycle Not forgetting that the directive also asks to improve the environmental performance of equipment over its lifecycle The WEEE Directive

  7. The WEEE Directive

  8. Transported Round the Country

  9. To be Processed

  10. Mechanically

  11. Re-use

  12. Or Recycling

  13. WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) • A Cost • Cost to Handle • Cost to Process • Cost to Landfill • An Opportunity • A New Green Value Chain

  14. Prisons?

  15. The Learning Light Project • Training offenders in recycling Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) • Trialled in HMPs Wealstun and Everthorpe • In response to the Recycling Industry learning requirements

  16. To Do This

  17. By e-learning

  18. The Project • Set up workshops to carry out the disassembly of waste electrical and electronic equipment. • To skill up offenders to carry out these tasks using energy efficient techniques • To harness the power of e-learning to deliver the skills required • To offer a meaningful work experience • To provide a qualification for the learners

  19. Leading to…. • Employment opportunities on release in an expanding market • Less likelihood of re-offending and incidentally…… • Major environmental benefits: • Carbon saving of: 450.2394tpa in a 4mth period An inkjet printer weighing 7kg reduced to 1g of waste to landfill

  20. The Results • Enhanced learning experience • Increased ICT skills • Meaningful work while in prison • Understanding of environmental issues • Delivering almost 99% reuse or recycle • Massive savings in product sent to landfill • A work based qualification • Job opportunity in an industry set to expand exponentially

  21. Delivering So Much More……….. Delivering So much more than a Tick in a Box WEEE Directive Reducing Re-offending Reuse Recover Recycle Employment Opportunity Less Waste To Landfill WEEE HM Prison Service Workshop Meaningful Work and Valuable Learning NVQ Recycling Operations (WEEE) / Accredited Learning CIWM & EU Skills

  22. The Qualification • First of its kind • e-learning based • Maps an NVQ to a mandatory regulation • NVQ level 1,2 (and 3) mapped to the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (The WEEE directive) • Delivers practical work based skills to meet a regulatory requirement by using e-learning and hands on work

  23. Learning to Work • The e-learning delivers: • Health and safety • Team working • Understanding of the WEEE directive and environmental issues • Quizzes to test understanding

  24. Learning to Disassemble • Practical techniques shown • Recognition skills – Plastics and Metals • Instructional modules: • Computer base stations • Printers • CRTs • Street Lighting

  25. The Endorsement • Industry led learning • Accredited by the Chartered Institute of Wastes Management (CIWM) • Listed as part of the UK learning portfolio by Industry qualification awarding body WAMITAB • Supported by the industries technical steering group • Encouraged by DeFRA, WRAP, EU-Skills, NOMS and Yorkshire Forward

  26. The Flexibility of the e-learning • Fully accessible – pictorial, text and audio • Letting learners control their own learning • Easily updated • Easy and cost effective to deploy • CD rom delivery • VLE/LMS delivery over the internet • PC or Thin client - intranet • SCORM compliant – meets all standards

  27. The Learning • Developed with leading subject matter experts • e-learning – blended with workplace assessment • Very cost effective • The ‘e’ in e-learning is for ‘e’nvironmental
