Theme: Development of Systems How do institutions cope with APL? This assembly will explore how higher education institutions (HEIs) could be better equipped to facilitate and attract learners via the accreditation of prior learning (APL) route. The use of technology to facilitate the APL process will be discussed. A previous TELSTAR Assembly highlighted some of the issues between HEIs and APEL which included the need to provide flexible frameworks, institutional policies, transparency and support for staff and students alike. These issues will be expanded on by questioning how they are being, or how they could be, overcome. Best practice amongst various institutions that are addressing these issues will be shared and participants will explore the issues in small groups. Background: It would be useful for attendees to read the report from the TELSTAR Assembly held in February 2010: APEL_Assembly Report_1Feb2010 Embedding XCRi in partnership 1. Lessons learned from CCLIP This first part of the assembly will discuss the challenges encountered and the lessons learned from the CCLIP project, i.e. the development of a CPD portal to promote and support the needs of both cultural partners and the educational institution partners. 2.

They will demonstrate to the outside world how your project is transferable, or has elements, documentation or lessons, that other institutions could find useful and put into practice. It’s important when deciding on your products that you think about your final report and outputs – what will be in there that you can use for this? Obviously the services or outputs you offer don’t have to be finished, salable commodities by the time of the meeting. They don’t all need to be large and complex. Products could be small, quick-win type solutions, for example. Contact your project’s SSBR team member (Patsy or Ellen) if you would like to discuss further any aspect of your contribution. Please address any inquiries concerning registration for the Festival of Assemblies to We look forward to seeing you at the Festival of Assemblies! Best wishes
