This project looked at how task-based learning (TBL) might effect an immersive, productive and motivating experience for learners and promote the most in-demand common work skills such as problem-solving, collaborating and analysing.
Supporting learners to re-engage with their core literacy skills.
Experiences of teaching and learning English in the context of vocational training in prisons.
This project investigated the barriers preventing vocational trainers from embedding digital skills in their course delivery.
This project explored how to improve the embedding of digital tools within English sessions across Novus’ provision. The project set out to research, design, and deliver a bespoke training offer for teachers of English across prisons in the West Midlands.
This project evaluates the use of simulations to support learners in developing digital skills in practical contexts previously excluded in prisons, for example, performing online transactions, accessing social media. It also considers how prisoners with digital design skills can be involved as ‘learner-designers’ in the production of simulation prototypes.

Through storytelling, people with different perspectives can come together and share their common humanity, hopes and goals. The act of telling stories, listening and being listened to in itself, has a positive impact on those learning and working in the SEND system. This publication, Small, powerful everyday things – conversations of humanity in the SEND system, gives us an opportunity to read stories from the perspective of learners, their families and professionals working in the SEND system and to think about how storytelling might inform your work.
When FE and specialist colleges join forces to support each other, this really benefits learners. This report provides examples of where this has happened and also examples of how colleges are exploring with local authorities how to make the SEND system work for learners. Lots of food for thought and ideas that you might want to explore in your own college.
This guide, developed with and for colleges will help you to self-evaluate the effectiveness of your provision for learners with special educational needs and disabilities.
