  8. MIAP in Higher EducationStory so far • A MIAP Higher Education Advisory Group (HEAG) was formed in 2008, chaired by Bob Burgess • A strategic outline business case was developed and agreed by the HEAG in April 2009. This advocated small scale pilots to test the benefits claimed in the Business Case. • HEFCE and JISC are sponsoring the pilots, and contributing funds. • Very good interest from the HE sector in these pilots.

  9. The Drivers for Adoption in HE Potential Benefits for Learners: Access to qualifications and achievement data held about them Link to qualifications data held by HEIs and/or the HEAR Secure access to the PLR in their control Streamlining of on-line applications Better course and careers advice Potential Benefits include ... • Potential Benefits for HEIs: • [Ultimately] fewer identifiers • Easier reporting and data sharing between learning providers and Agencies • Greater personalisation of services • Easier collaboration across learning partnerships • UCAS results processing with ULN providing verified qualifications on entry from PLR data • Reduction in the need to validate qualifications and achievements • Better access to data for student monitoring and to support decision making • Tracking progression from schools into HE and beyond • Access to destination data • Improved identity verification • Potential Benefits for Agencies/Govt: • Reduced burden of data sharing • Better longitudinal analyses • Trust and security • Potential Benefits for Employers: • Access to verified qualifications data held in the PLR, controlled by the learner The HE Pilot will evaluate the Benefits and dis-Benefits in Case Studies
