Co-design consultation 2016-17
»We want to find the next big ideas for technology in
education and research.
»Recently we released a set of visions for how technology
will transform research and education by 2020-2030.
»Late last year we kicked off a consultation to identify
what big new ideas Jisc should focus on once we have
completed our current R&D projects.
23/01/2017
Co-design 2017
»That consultation focused on 6 possible challenges:
› What does the imminent arrival of the intelligent campus mean for
universities and colleges?
› What should the next generation of digital learning environments do?
› What should a next-generation research environment look like?
› Which skills do people need to prepare for research practice now and in
the future?
› What would truly digital apprenticeships look like?
› How can we use data to improve teaching and learning?

What would truly digital
apprenticeships look like?
23/01/2017
Co-design 2017
»Could Jisc explore whether we could deliver tools,
resources, and data that anyone designing an
apprenticeship could use to develop a course that makes
effective use of technology and uses an appropriate
mixture of online, blended and face to face learning?

»Could we explore a new type of tool that allows students
to easily curate and demonstrate the verified skills,
knowledge, experience and qualifications they have
gained, both formally and informally?To enable learners
to curate and showcase experiences and activities to
potential employers as they loop between study and
employment during their careers.

Notas do Editor

  1. Welcome to this presentation on blended learning Image credit: Food mixer by Lesley Choa CC BY-NC-ND 2.0 https://flic.kr/p/93nbRW
  2. The consultation highlighted the need to move to different delivery models. National employers want national delivery and meeting increased government targets while maintaining high quality is infeasible without the use of technology. However this throws up questions about how to deliver effectively to a wide range of learner cohorts, from 16-18 years olds used to study to adults over 50 who have years of work experience but lack qualifications, or who are seeking career progression. Practitioners want to move to new models of delivery to meet the changing and demanding needs of the growth of apprenticeships. The challenge is, we assume that they know how to do this and have the necessary skills to embed digital technologies in the design and delivery. Could Jisc explore whether we could deliver tools, resources, and data that anyone designing an apprenticeship could use to develop a course that makes effective use of technology and uses an appropriate mixture of online, blended and face to face learning?
  3. Assessment Many people we talked to highlighted that there are significant challenges in assessment. The lack of approved awarding bodies in over 50% of apprentice standards and the move to end-point assessment and its separation from the delivery of training are two of the most pressing examples. We believe technology-enhanced approaches can offer cost benefits without losing validity and reliability – eg remote verification and online proctoring and that it is essential to incorporate formative checkpoints to prepare learners for end-point assessments. This area needs more detailed investigation before appropriate solutions can be found so we are proposing starting that exploration to identify the specific problems and explore how technology can address those problems.
  4. Not all apprenticeships lead to permanent roles. Some employers train for their supply chain, or their needs change during the apprenticeship. This will require learners to demonstrate their skills, qualifications and experience as they seek advancement and move between employers and training providers in order to progress to higher level apprenticeships. A related problem is that some potential apprentices struggle to find employers when transitioning from formal education to apprenticeships, as they need to be able to demonstrate suitability, often in vocational areas in order to engage relevant employers who can sometimes be small or even micro. The consultation uncovered that whilst the use of e-portfolios and VLEs was widespread to demonstrate skills, this didn’t support the learner when seeking employment. Learners need to be able to demonstrate verified vocational and employability skills, qualifications and experiences in one place, simplifying interactions with potential employers as they progress through their careers. Could we explore a new type of tool that allows students to easily curate and demonstrate the verified skills, knowledge, experience and qualifications they have gained, both formally and informally? To enable learners to curate and showcase experiences and activities to potential employers as they loop between study and employment during their careers.
