Summary of Piloting activities and outcomes

• All prisons were involved in the project

• Difficulties with negativity towards the VC

• Overcome problems where VC was not up and running or working

• Wider approach to the piloting activities rather than focus on one specific area

• Cross establishment working – developmental and evaluating

• Built a strong network of like minded practitioners with student needs at heart

Summary of Piloting activities and outcomes

Learner Evaluation Summary:

Like: Interaction Dislikes: Hate computers

Ease of Use Prefer 1 to 1

Colour Links not working

Sound Questions to easy

Humour Not long enough

Informative

Work at own pace

Summary of Piloting activities and outcomes Overall, the learners liked the interactive learning and want more

Blended approach to learning

Learner influence on teaching

Important to evaluate students learning experience to develop

Ticks boxes for inspections

Funding implications of OLASS 4 – need learners to achieve

Working collectively across the region has been very beneficial and developmental

More tutor training required

Next Step

• Continue with the regional meetings. Next planned for 19th July – moving forwards quarterly. Reviewing and developing content, developing quality of provision across the region

• Learner evaluation work to continue

• Increase the overall tutor engagement with the VC

• Introduce the prison and partners to VC and its potential

• Peer evaluation work

• Would like to see a dedicated person who has the ability to aid tutors in developing content
