BackgroundBackgroundBackgroundBackground

SQA, SFEU and COLEG have formed a partnership to create technology enhanced resources for new NQGA awards.

An ESF project bid for the creation of innovative new resources over a variety of curriculum areas has been submitted.

This project will build on experience of HN Modernisation and in particular of ESF funding to support development of support materials.

April 08 - March 2011. ESF funding not confirmed. Support materials will be created over the three years for up

to 66 NQGA awards.

SQA have responsibility for overall management and administration of the project and e-assessment production.

COLEG have responsibility for production of e-learning materials and paper-based Teaching & Learning packs.

SFEU will develop training programmes and workshops for Qualification Design Teams (QDT) and Centre staff involved in creation of e-assessments and Support materials.

Training progammes/workshops for Qualification Design Teams (QDT) and Centre staff involved in content creation.

Through these workshops the QDT will consider the option of technology-enhanced resources for each qualification at the design stage.

The workshops will also ensure a consistent approach through the lifecycle of qualification development from initial scoping to delivery.

Overall aim of the project is to widen access, enhance learner experience and increase flexibility through:

– Embedding the principles of innovative learning and assessment methods into new NQGA design and development.

– Increasing the amount of learning resources available to learners.

– Significantly improving the flexibility and availability of learning and assessment materials.
