Project Summary (derived from final report)

This project aimed to integrate systems that support personalised initial/qualifying professional development (IPD) and continuing professional development (CPD), applicable to professional competency frameworks and enabling work-based learners to control and share their digital artefacts.
A Moodle plugin (MyShowcase) plug-in was created and piloted in HE and also FE institutions, with interest from various other sectors.
It allows users to integrate learning evidence from a range of online sources to showcase for CPD, career planning, and lifelong-learning. Users can bring together Web 2.0 feeds and a range of other digital content to create rich evidence streams of their online content.

Using XCRI to integrate course information from partners.

IDM: there are two main issues: a) IDM and the technical issues associated with its implementation and support; and b) Trusted relationship management - The concepts around the users’ knowledge of data and however they share their data with others. Through workshops, security is often mentioned, with user not fully aware of what, if any, control they truly have of their own data once it is in electronic form and on the Internet.

Developing a personalised, ‘learner controlled’ online environment to support an individual’s continuing professional development (CPD) and the staff CPD review process. At its centre is a scalable, interoperable and robust access and identity management system that will integrate and control access to personal e-portfolio technologies.

Wider interoperability potential?

Economic cutbacks obstructing collaboration with potential partners;

Skype for collaboration with partners

Partners use Moodle

Smartphone option? (Nottingham)

Access via IDM system:
- Aggregator: Leap2A & Pebblepad
- Mapper/tagger
- Showcaser;

Sakai based tools (2.6) (ver 3? 2011) ‘MyShowcase’ =online portal
