Project Details:
Making the New Diploma a Success
This project will address a national challenge – the introduction of the new diplomas. The key challenge is the coordination of delivery and support from a variety of locations such as schools, the College and employers. We will address issues such as timetabling, data management, tutorial planning, access to support, and monitoring progress from different locations. The introduction of a Learner Portal will bring together a wide range of existing college systems, as well as introducing new functionality to provide Diploma stakeholders with a ‘one stop shop’ for all aspects of the course

ULCC are also developing an ePDP system which in essence will allow greater flexibility to tutors to create groups of students and assign external mentors. Currently this can only be done through system administration. This system will be shared throughout the college sector.
