JISC

Overview

By investigating multiple but interrelated areas within the Plymouth Building Capacity Project it will be possible deploy a number of Projects and Services’ artefacts across the institution and provide feedback to improve the artefacts themselves. By using high profile areas linked to strategic projects the adoption of artefacts will be highly visible.
Integrating the Plymouth Building Capacity Project into a range of other projects and activities will allow the investigation of models successful uptake and identify (and develop, if required) institutional processes that will ease deployment of JISC outputs, and share these with Services.

Aims and Objectives

BCUP aims to investigate and exploit best practice in order to enhance inclusivity, flexibility and choice for students while ensuring staff have access to a wide range of tools and resources to enhance learning

• The University wishes to implement the LLiDA audit tool to capture the Plymouth TEL experience

• Podcasting processes will be investigated and developed to support both academic and professional support staff

• There is a requirement to investigate and deliver a range of CAA options

• Plymouth wishes to build on its experience of deploying an e-portfolio solution and work to embed its application throughout the institution

Project Methodology

The project is managed by Dr Neil Witt, Head of Technology Enhanced Learning. Helen Beetham will be employed as a consultant for the Digital Literacy element of this project. The project will involve staff from across the Teaching and Learning Directorate including Learning Development (Carolyn Gentle) and Technology Enhanced Learning (Sid White, Flea Palmer and Janice Gibbs). Input will be provided by academic and professional support staff from across the institution.
