SHELL-FISH will be a plug-in to the SHELL project, which is the leading inter-operability framework, working to UK LEAP and IMS LIP standardised data transfers. SHELL has already developed, tested and proven the technical infrastructure and the base Learner Record for distributed e-Lifelong Learning. The SHELL Project Director has been consulted and is fully supportive of SHELL-FISH. The SHELL-FISH plug-in will use the inter-operability features of SHELL whilst creating a pedagogically sound example of effective practice in learning, teaching and technology.
SHELL-FISH project aims to deliver a learning support system by providing learners with a facility to obtain feedback, a development plan and a record of progress related to that feedback. Teachers will have a feedback management system which will allow the accessing and updating of a learner’s record of progress and previous feedback, linking students to existing on-line learning resources and monitoring the impact of resource use on students’ academic performance.
