JISC

Overview

Technology enabled learning support for training & accreditation recognition (TELSTAR) project will provide a technology enabled Learning Framework accessible via a web portal that addresses the needs of work-based learners and their employers. It will include the facilitation of the accreditation of learners’ prior experience, credit recognition of in-house and learning provider courses and negotiated credit awarded learning units. Learners may mix-and-match a combination of these courses together with standard university modules to gain an HE level qualification from Foundation through to Masters level degrees. The web portal will also provide a competencies assessment tool, ePortfolio, CV builder, access to the learner community and learner support. Ultimately the focus of this project is to enhance innovation and productivity and deliver economic and social benefit to employees and employers.
