SMART update
Over the past week the project has taken on a new speed and we are fast approaching the finishing line.
I think Project involvement is an important issue for the university; I had a lengthy chat with Phillip Wood (Head of Work Based Learning and Short Course Development). This discussion was most enlightening and provided further institutional understanding for workbased learning and the future SMART project developments.
Still the issue of employer engagement creates a diversion and now the question is
Who is this employer?
What does he/she look like?
Do they exist for all work based learning students?
Responsibility for the student’s work based improvement or acknowledgement of employment skills and their development, to whom does this belong?
Project research, teaching and new information continues to provide extensive knowledge in terms of project direction. It would appear that SMART has a vital role to play in the future execution of Foundation Degrees and for some the future of education as we know it.
