Page history last edited by Peter Chatterton 13 years, 1 month ago
Area of focus 1 Institutional readiness
Criterion 1-1 WBL strategy and plans
Main statement

A WBL strategy/business plan is in place which aligns with the institutions overall strategy/business plan and linked strategies and which provides for local customisation of faculty/school/department WBL implementation plans and is driven by a senior management team which regularly monitors and evaluates the strategy/plans at local and institutional levels.

Self assessment guidelines
  • WBL is identified in the institution’s strategic and business plans as a key priority for development.
  • The WBL strategy is aligned with other related strategies e.g. distance learning, e-learning, ICT, teaching & learning, library and information services. 
  • The WBL strategy is regularly reviewed and updated by a senior managemen team.
  • An institutional WBL business plan is in place and provides a framework within which faculty/school/department plans are developed and monitored.
  • The strategy is coherent and allows customisation to local needs.
  • The strategy is made public.
  • The strategy has performance measures and is monitored at institutional and local levels. 
Evidence to look for
  • Existence of a specific WBL strategic plan.
  • The WBL strategy is embedded in the institution’s strategy.
  • WBL embedded in other related strategy documents (e.g. e-learning, ICT, teaching and learning, library and information services)
  • The institutional WBL strategy guides  local customisations at Faculty/School and programme level.
  • Performance monitoring and evaluation is undertaken and documented.
  • The involvement of employers in WBL programme design is integral to the process.
  • A Professional Practice Accreditation “shell framework” provides a basis for the award of credit for work-based projects, reflective accounts and research directly personal and organisational improvement goals.
  • Processes for developing cohort/ individual WB learning action plans are in place and are well understood.
  • The development of WB learning action plans is a rigorous process, worthy of academic credit, which consolidates underpinning knowledge and expertise establishing a clear baseline for further personal development.
  • APEL policies, strategies and practices reflect the need for WB learning action plans to be grounded in existing learning and experience which may sometimes merit the award of credit.
  • Programme approval & validation processes for assessing and accrediting learning (including learning not provided by the organisation) focus on providing a fast-track and lean process.
