Communications tech to support Transition
http://supportingtransition.co.uk/
Isolation can have detrimental impact on transition process from ISP to independence. Using Skype and other such technologies to link students with others.
Using readily available technology to develop and maintain communication will support the transition process allowing students to integrate back into their own community or to a new community away from their home environment more easily.

Sector priorities: some thoughts from EM LPs
Study programmes: changes to funding mean less money per L; less time per qualification. Also reduced funding for tutorial programmes. LPs will increasingly turn to technology to support independent learning
BYOD: ensuring infrastructure can cope; need good connectivity to support independent L(WBL) 24+ loans; money given to employer, rather than provider, so spotlight on value MIS, better use of data – complicated systems need simplifyingGrowth in apprenticeship funding – employability Use of VLEs/cloud technology LP prioritiesBYOD: moving away from investing in kit - actively encouraging users to bring devices equitable access by improving external connectivity; develop user friendly interface. Technology for independent learning How to balance core offer with bespoke training Expanding e-Learning team to support College strategy to move towards more online delivery
