The main preparation activity for the PotsPan project WBL system pilot exercise has been the updating and refinement of the Joomla document management system. Tony Toole has been working with Lewis Jones at CSG to identify where improvements can be made and to implement those improvements.
To a great extent these have been editing and format issues relating to the website and the forms it contains. However, it has also been an opportunity to re-examine the administrative and management workflows and how these can be made more efficient and better support the work of the training advisors in particular.
The main piloting activities will be carried out at Coleg Sir Gar and Pembrokeshire College and the digital pens to be used in the exercise have been purchased and distributed. The period before the end of 2012 will enable the system to be trialled by those participating in the pilot at the institutions: for them to become familiar with the structure of the Joomla system and the use of the digital pens.
The full pilot exercise will begin in the new year with cohorts of work-based learners chosen by the partners.
A further pilot exercise will be carried out at Swansea Metropolitan University with an online distance learning development involving WBL delivery to the armed forces deployed in Germany and elsewhere. Included in this exercise will be a mapping to the JISC work-based learning toolkit.
