A case study describing a project aiming to improve a number of staff processes including induction, probation, appraisal, teaching observation, HR and CPD by providing a flexible online tool with the ability to track completion and non completion of processes and targets.
This case study shows how technology has led to systems and procedures at ACDhelp becoming mean, lean and auditable. Repetitive administration jobs have been subcontracted or automated, assessor reporting time has been reduced and there is easier access to client data. As a direct result, administration costs have fallen and management time has been freed up.
This project looked to build on A4e’s initial scoping of real-time 3D internet as a teaching & learning tool by consulting trainers and learners in its national Vox Centres. Ideas gathered from staff were translated into a methodology that developers at Teesside University’s d lab could interpret and build a test area for the improved induction and assessment of Vox Centre learners.
The aim of this project was to create an e-learning platform for learners. to store learning resources specific to each individual and to support learner communication, leading to improved retention and achievement.
This project sought to develop and embed a central sales team, which would have a portfolio drawn from across two colleges. This included the establishment of a commercial KPI model as used in media advertising. In doing so the colleges could move to a more commercial approach to marketing, in order to make efficiency gains and provide customers with whole business solutions drawn from a wider portfolio of products and services.
This project shows how collaborative processes and bidding can help smaller work-based learning providers to survive in a world of Minimum Contract Values by unlocking the ability to improve quality and
cut costs via collaboration.
This presentation shows how collaboration across a region can reduce staff costs through online recruiting and advertising. Approaches include use of the www.monster.co.uk online system at discounted rates, plus negotiating better federated pricing for other advertising.
Based on the idea of “Quality Spread”, this project aimed to provide, through simple systems, a quality learner cycle including learner feedback, and to encourage learners to participate in the co-production of their learning experience.
Learner tracking to reduce adminsistration burdens. Using cloud based 'Salesforce.com' as a low cost alternative to conventional CRM systems.
This presentation illustrates an approach, taken by Harington and partners, to create an online bespoke database application, bringing together key datasets used to manage the personalised learner journey, learner progress and funding streams/budgets. It goes on to summarise the cost savings, benefits, and learning from the project.
