Enhancing Higher Education Learning: The HELPP Project Overview

The HELPP project, part of the JISC e-learning capital programme, aims to improve higher education learning through a unique e-portfolio approach. With funding of £100,000 over two years, it facilitates a three-way conversation among learners, employers, and tutors to enhance work placements. By developing blogs for reflection and community interaction within a social constructivist framework, the project promotes widening participation in higher education. Engaging tools like online contracts and flexible sharing options for documents foster comprehensive employer engagement and streamline work placement processes for students.
