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.
