This case study shows how Leeds City College sought to implement e-collaboration through the shared design of a distance learning course, and as a result save tutor time, reduce the College’s carbon footprint, increase productivity and improve cross-campus curriculum efficiency.
The project involved developing and testing a pilot online resource to support and enhance learner induction. The resource was designed to give learners both generic and subject-specific information, to support the standardisation of information given to learners at induction, and meet a variety of learner needs.
This project utilised touch-screen technology to allow learners to access high definition film clips in practical workshop environments. This aimed to improve achievement rates by increasing the opportunities for learners to safely observe tutor demonstrations.
This project explored the ‘suitability’, in terms of quality and learner satisfaction, of a range of existing technology solutions through analysis of staff and leaner evaluations from courses already delivered. The team also trialled some new technology, and where gaps in provision, existed delivered pilot programmes to measure the appropriateness of the technology.
This project aimed to develop the interpersonal skills of work-based apprentices in hairdressing, and build confidence and capability in professional employer-valued competencies through the use of interactive technology to consult with and advise clients.

Scenario Modelling using the LSIS data observatory. An innovative on line tool to enable organisations to model up to 99 scenarios f the future using presvious and expected financial and numerical data. The results are then scored across 36 college standa
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.
