SCROLLA and SFEU

SCROLLA's Networked Learning group at the University of Glasgow, in partnership with the Scottish Further Education Unit, have been successful in winning £208,972 under the JISC X4L programme. The joint project aims to encourage the sharing and reuse of materials within UK Higher and Further Education Institutions.
One major goal of the project is to develop a tool that maps on-line learning resources already available freely on the internet (as indexed, for example, by the JISC RDN) to the Scottish Qualifications framework. Another is to re-purpose existing paper learner guides that are currently available to Scottish FE staff to support their classroom use of on-line learning resources, to on-line format. From this process a reusable template for new on-line learner guides to content across the curriculum will be developed for UK FE and HE use.
The partnership between the Scottish Centre for Research into On-Line Learning and Assessment and the Scottish Further Education Unit will allow the project to access subject expertise and experience of learner and teacher needs and staff development good practice in both the Further Education and Higher Education sectors. Through the SCROLLA group, research knowledge and expertise can be brought to bear on resource and practice development, implementation and evaluation. In addition to their existing strong networks within and across sectors, both partners have membership of CETIS and good working relationships with members of relevant JISC research and development groups.
The outputs from the project will be of benefit to JISC Services and HE content providers who wish to make their content accessible to Scottish Further Education. They will enable resources from any provider in the public or private sector to be reviewed and mapped on to the curriculum.
The project will run for two years from June 2002 to June 2004.
