Hi Ty
You might want to have a look at some of the recent JISC funded
Curriculum Delivery projects. There are a number projects based in FE
colleges including Lewisham College
(http://www.lewishamdiplomas.co.uk/), Kingston College
(http://kube.kingston-college.ac.uk/) and the College of West Anglia
(http://blog.springboardtv.com/blog). Hopefully they can give you some
insights/inspiration on how they have been increasing and extending use
of their VLE and portfolios systems.
Regards
Sheila

Dear All,
I have been the Administrator at a FE/HE college now for 10 months.
As I encourage more usage and train staff accordingly, I am finding a
few issues are arising.
Departments are being externally verified, and the EV's are encouraging
course leaders and departments to build on good examples that they are
seeing and to expand on their over-all VLE usage (Blackboard),
especially in the sense of Assessments and to some degree E-Portfolios.
My concern is that now departments are now going fully over to the VLE
system, without enough assessment guidance from such EV's. Resources are
being purchased, decisions are not being properly considered and there
seems to be a lack of general structure.
I can only train staff on how to work the tools available, and hint at
possible issues / consequences where I can.
I am presuming that a group in our college needs to be discussing these
issues and providing concrete answers, but I would like to present some
ideas, research and possible guidelines before hand. But where would the
EV's get their information from, regarding good practice etc.
As useful it seems nothing is set in stone.
Kind Regards
Ty
