Summer 2008 Update

As it is difficult to get Managers, mentors, tutors, to adopt WBLWAY in the face of the numerous ILT/IT software initiatives that the college is lauching (from FrameUp to Covalent to Pro- Achieve to etc etc) I have now promoted WBLWAY to students. After preliminary classroom visits, I have written to all of our FD DATA (Dance and Theatre Arts ) students to personally invite them to trial WBLWAY and respond to a user survey. This should make them feel special and aware of the fact that we are working to provide ever improving services. As I have worked with the tutors, employers, mentors, and sponsors of DATA events (ie Coors) this may improve engagement , as I will be able to undertake some of the spadework on behalf of each role (ie input access permissions to set up screens - as I have sent instructions and permission forms to students).

Actions as a result of our Pursuit of the Training Standard and possible involvement with initiatives to improve such things as course validation may improve our employer responsiveness - particularly that harnessing ILT/ICT initiatives.
