Description: 

The Blended Logistics Learning project outstanding teaching learning and assessment (OTLA) project established Logistics Skills Alliance (LSA) bringing together employers and training providers to strengthen logistics and transport training in West London serving Heathrow Airport and its supply chain.  The project aimed to explore the use of blended learning as a tool to drive improvement in teaching, learning and assessment and to strengthen the understanding of learners of the sector.  An important outcome for this project was the journey from training models of delivery to other means through the use of blended learning.


In addition to exploring blended learning, project partners worked with employer groups to develop a series of blended learning materials for use with young people and adults.  These are focussed on the behaviours need in the logistics and transport sector and are targeted at learners at level 2.  The materials are designed for use with young people preparing for or undertaking the range of apprenticeship standards - both approved and in development – that the proposed transport and logistics technical route will deliver.​


Project partners included Somax (part of Weston College), Transervice, Heart of Worcester College, West Suffolk College, South Essex Colleges, Heathrow and the Logistics Skills Alliance, Institute of Couriers, Transervice, Merlin Supply Chain Solutions (Knights of Old), Heathrow and Job Centre Plus.


West Thames Colleges wrote the case study in January 2018.


The ETF edited and reformatted the case study to improve accessibility, but some issues do remain in the document.
