Building digital capability: Employability lens on the Six Elements of Digital Capability

This is a version of the Jisc ‘Six Elements of Digital Capabilities’ model, developed to support student-facing sta working in Careers and Employability roles and curriculum sta working to embed employability issues into the curriculum. It draws on the work of the Jisc Developing Student Employability project e.g. on the model of the ‘employable student’ produced by Peter Chatterton for that project.

Alliance Learning: Revolutionising the way they work with an online learner management system

Since May 2012 Paul Cocker, Operation Executive and the Senior Management Team of Alliance Learning have introduced an online learner management system for every learner, requiring significant investment in systems, hardware, acceptance by staff and above all, time and commitment from the management team. This organisation has taken the radical step to overcome one of the major barriers to achieve its goal by dedicating three periods of two weeks where the business has closed for staff CPD training. A total of 500 man hours were invested to implement the online system. This is an excellent model of how to make these major changes effective in the shortest time.
