Mobile Learning in Universities Client: Assessment and Learning in Practice Settings (ALPS). Challenge: To create a service platform allowing tutors to send assessments and supporting materials to the mobile devices of Health and Social Care students on work-based practice. The ALPS partners are the Health and Social Care faculties of Leeds, Bradford, Huddersfield, Leeds Metropolitan and York St John Universities, as well as the NHS Yorkshire and the Humber. The other bodies involved are T-Mobile, ecommnet and MyKnowledgeMap. The five universities involved in the ALPS project were using different VLEs, but they all required access to the same template assessment package. ALPS asked MyKnowledgeMap to provide a tool which would allow the tutors to create and package the assessments for delivery to the devices. Solution: The service platform created for the ALPS project, based on our Multi-Port system , allowed tutors to send assessments and supporting materials to mobile devices which the students used while on work-based practice. Tutors across all five institutions could create tailor-made assessments using a wide range of question types including multiple choice, fill in the gaps, and free text questions. The assessments could then be uploaded to Compendle and packaged with supporting materials such as additional instructions or extra reading. The students could then complete the assessments whilst at work and submit their answers for marking and feedback. Award-winning: The ALPS project won the Innovation Award in the Tertiary, FE & HE category at the 2009 Handheld Learning Awards. The event has become the largest of its kind. It brings together thought leaders, innovators, practitioners, developers, policy and decision makers from the education, technology and entertainment sectors. The ALPS project also won the Techworld Mobility Project of the Year 2008.
Australian Flexible Learning Framework. So, that is basically a national e-learning strategy which is $15 million every year that used to be given out in drips and drops and it’s for the past 10 years been aggregated into one fund and made available for e-learning projects. So, all of our e-portfolio work is funded through this. Unfortunately out of the $15 million we get a very small amount to do e-portfolio stuff but it’s been really important to have that national focus. Big privacy document, broken down into simpler guidelines Also: ePCoP ePortfolios Australia Conference 2010 http://www.flexiblelearning.net.au/content/e-portfolios-australia So, where we are at, at the moment, we have these guidelines that have been developed based on the privacy impact assessment that we commissioned and stakeholder consultations that we did last year, particularly aimed at states and territories and managers of learner information. One of the things that we are planning to do next is look at what learners are looking for, as well, out of e-portfolios. It’s that sort of stereotype that Gen Y and younger are happy to just put everything up and don’t care about privacy and it’s no longer an issue; then the other extreme is Gen X and above are really protective and want to control everything. They are obviously extreme stereotypes but we need to find ways to deal with people that are on that spectrum.

However this idea reflects a growing movement in technology generally… ePortfolio doesn’t have to be one big thing, can be an aggregate made up of pieces of other systems, e.g.: Learning Management System Job Referral Service Credential information Multifunctional, flexible, can serve needs of different communities, stakeholders Enables customization to particular needs
