  1. TransPortALL: Transfer of Portfolios Assisting Lifelong Learning Janet Strivens Centre for Lifelong Learning The University of Liverpool Simon Grant Project worker

  2. Imagine the personal challenge… • When were you least confident in your academic ability? • A particular subject; or non-academic area? • This is to be learned in a new context • But there is little support available • What would prepare you? • How would you cope?

  3. Challenges • How can learners be prepared for the transition between institutions? • high support to low support context • other cultural differences • How can a common overarching PDP process be designed? • activities • information content

  4. Recommendations - baseline • Design review structures and instruments (documentation etc.) so that the student has the greatest appropriate sense of involvement in making PDP-related decisions • Develop and motivate staff so that they have the skills and attitudes to foster a sense of learner ownership of the decisions

  5. Recommendations for transition • Discuss the fact of change of level of support with learners • Design clear, explicit and appropriate assessment criteria for use in feedback about assignments • Communicate these criteria to the learners, and allow for dialogue about their meaning with tutors and/or peers

  6. (continued) • Arrange for learners to assess each other’s assignments, using these criteria • Introduce routine self-assessment of assignments (prior to submission) • Build these criteria into periodic review of overall performance and progression

  7. Suggestions • Include activities which are designed to help the learner understand better how she learns • Construct an explicit framework for the skills which are relevant to the educational context

  8. Lessons learned • Realism • Find out more before the start • Less change of plan during execution • Longer, thinner project • Time to understand different cultures and learners’ experiences with new technology • Time to investigate effects properly
