Discussions on issues and implications for developing
and mainstreaming new practices and technologies in different institutional contexts
The workshop will explore how institutions are meeting the needs of lifelong learners by developing and mainstreaming cost-effective, scalable and efficient new practices and technologies.
The University of Plymouth Colleges regional partnership of Further Education College’s PINEAPPLE project adopts technology solutions to make the APEL (Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning) process more efficient and cost-effective (Neil Whitt)
Edinburgh Napier University and Edinburgh’s Telford College have worked in partnership with Edinburgh City Council to design and deliver a new suite of programmes that provide seamless articulation pathways and alternative work-based routes to degree study where technology is used extensively to provide cost-effective and flexible delivery (Andrew Comrie)

Table summary
Support for lifelong learners
Some learners, particularly non-mainstream learners, may experience difficulties managing the social and academic aspects of HE
Learners can lack a sense of belonging to an HE community within an FE environment
Responsive curriculum design
More responsive curriculum development depends on participation from those individuals that have a stake in the outcome
The absence of shared vocabulary and employers’ unfamiliarity with HE level descriptors can form barriers to sustainable employer-centred provision

Table summary
Flexible curriculum delivery
University admissions and other support processes cannot always adapt rapidly to the needs of diverse learners
Employers and learners want smaller and shorter learning experiences
Not all learners perceive their interactions with HE as a holistic experience
Assessment, feedback and accreditation
The need to capture staff CPD activities in a manner that respects the concept of the reflective practitioner whilst meeting the requirements of an award
Finding ways of embedding feedback activities in the online delivery of learning to remote learners
Mainstream application processes do not easily recognise and accredit the prior experiences of non-traditional learners

Table summary
Stakeholder engagement and sustainable partnerships
A lack of standardisation of terminology to describe data, across key stakeholders such as information providers can prevent effective re-use and blending of data from different sources
Difficulties for course teams and careers guidance and information professionals to access accurate, at-a-glance labour market information
Provision of work-based programmes depends on collaborative partnership working
