  3. OJEU Procurement Process Becta is entering a procurement process which will result in a Learning Platform Framework Contract. As such the following statements apply…

  4. OJEU Procurement Process • The fact that some suppliers are present at the RBC Roadshows does not give any indication that they will be included in the Procurement Framework.  • Becta does not endorse any supplier offering. • Becta will run an objective procurement process which will apply pre-defined criteria to the bids. • Becta will not take into account extraneous matters such as supplier attendance at RBC Roadshows.

  5. The e-strategy • Transform learning and teaching through shared ideas, stimulating activities and online support • Engage hard to reach learners with more choice about how and when to learn • Create an open and accessible system with information and services available to parents, carers, children, adult learners, employers • Greater efficiency, reduced burdens: through streamlined administration • Opportunities for professional development through peer to peer networks, online research databases

  17. So what should I look for? Most learning platform systems will offer a variety of functions in a number of ways, from basic, hosted systems to fully integrated, managed systems. There is no one-fits-all solution, and success will be determined by ensuring a coherent match of learning services.

  26. Postscript - How to get it all wrong!* Based on experiences from the FE sector: • Keep it all to yourself • Don’t provide any content • Don’t train the staff • Train the staff in the wrong things at the wrong times • Forget about the underpinning infrastructure • Everyone is going to be enthusiastic about learning platforms • Forget about quality control • Saying all lessons should be supported or delivered online
