Regular readers will know that we’ve commenced the review of several Higher National qualifications<\/a> and that we were looking for people to “scope” the required changes<\/a>. We got several volunteers and selected four people (all practising lecturers) to lead on each qualification. The “scoping team” met for the first time yesterday in Glasgow.<\/p>\n

The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the process for scoping qualifications and to agree tasks and timescales. It was a good meeting. The first stage in scoping is for each person to carry out qualitative research into the required changes. That involves them interviewing a range of practitioners to find out how satisfied they are with the current awards and what, if any, changes they’d like. These interviews may be face-to-face or online or by e-mail. If you’re approached by one of the team, I’d appreciate if you would contribute some of your time.<\/p>\n

Each lead person will (eventually) produce a “scoping report”, which summarises their findings and recommendations. I then consider each report and decide how to take things forward. The interviews will take place during the next few weeks and I hope to have completed reports by the end of September.<\/p>\n

Please contact Emma<\/a> if you want to know more about this project or wish to volunteer to be interviewed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
