RIPPLL
Regional Interoperability Project
on Progression for Lifelong
Learning
The consortium
Both
Nottingham HEIs (University of
Nottingham and Nottingham Trent
University)
City of Nottingham Passport (LEA)
Nottingham FE Colleges
Local employers
Background
FDTL project
at UoN: PARs
2000-02 ‘Making the Links’
2003-05 ‘Specifying an ePortfolio’ (JISC
MLE phase 2)
2005-06 JISC ePortfolio Reference Model
project (eP4LL)
2005-06 RIPPLL project (JISC DeL
Regional Pilot programme)
Context
Focus
on transition supported by
ePortfolio
Build on and extend existing partnerships
Towards a regional identity: joining up
systems in the region
Support WP agenda
Focus on a wider range of learners
Interoperability pedigree
2003
data transfer ePARs and LUSID
Early 2005: UK LeaP transfer CoNP to
ePARs
2005: consultation with UCAS for using
UK LeaP for application data
Pedagogic strand
Wide
range of learners, including
vocational pathways
Progression from study-study, study-work,
work-study
Scenario/use case methodology
Pedagogic strand (2)
Work
with HEIs, FE, training providers,
Connexions, local employers
Use cases published on web site for wider
consultation
Focus on need for continuity and
progression (learners regress after
transition)
Pedagogic successes
Through
involvement of CoNP we have
support of all FE colleges in the region
Sharing the HE vision/experience across
platforms
Building a regional identity
Technical work: overview
Joining
up systems
Development of HE electronic PDP
system
Transition to local HEIs from CoNP
Electronic application to FE
Shibboleth
Joining up systems
Building
on previous experience using UK
LeaP (BS 8788) standard
Technical consortium have agreed
minimum data set (identity data + personal
statement)
Demonstrated lifelong learner journey by
passing one individual’s data across 5
transitions: KS4, FE, HE and employment
PDP at NTU
Existing
system based on dowloadable
Word templates
These are being converted to HTML input
forms: granular data is stored in
databases, enabling interoperability
transfers into and out of the system
CoNP to Nottingham HE
‘New
Entrant Profile’ for UoN embedded in
CoNP site
Joining up CoNP and NTU PDP systems
so that new students can get a head start
with the system once a place is confirmed
Application to FE
Common
application form marked up as
UK LeaP
Populated automatically from
PassportFolio
Communicated to College MIS systems
using web services
Web services also allow feedback to
schools
Shibboleth
Deployed
on Microsoft platform (most
support documentation is Unix-based)
Dummy service between two servers at
NTU
Trialling use for authentication of PDP data
Where next?
Supporting
sustainability of systems within
the region
Involving more local employers, including
SMEs
Extension of interoperability pilots to use
web services
Dissemination to the wider community: the
RIPPLL effect!
