Project Methodology

Initially there will be a focus on gathering current practice as well as research, review and evaluation of materials with support from the academic schools and the Teaching Quality Enhancement Group (TQEG). In the later stages the emphasis will shift towards working directly with learners and their employers, developing and testing approaches to delivery and support in the workplace, resulting in an emerging model in line with the University's systems and processes. The project will not be developing new technologies, but will draw upon existing learning approaches/technologies and adapt these as appropriate, particularly those from previous JISC projects.

Anticipated Outputs and Outcomes

• A model of technology-supported delivery of lifelong and workplace learning.
• Case studies of the model in use on two academic programmes.
• Institutional guidance for the delivery of lifelong learning programmes with flexible programme length and assessment processes.
• Individual learner guidance on work-based learning.
• Evaluation of previously funded JISC projects to share with other UK HE institutions.
