Aspire: Lincoln College

About Aspire

Aspire is the Work Based Learning Department of Lincoln College.

Completed a merger with ISIS Training in June 2013.

I was formerly the E-learning Manager of ISIS Training.

Now an ICT Instructor, with responsibility for E-learning within Aspire.

History of ILP’s Traditionally paper based, mainly due to signature requirements.

Introduction of E-portfolios created the opportunity for Electronic ILP’s.

Info in ILP’s was being duplicated in paper and electronic format.

All forms could be created with the system and automatically linked together to create a full ILP.

Reason for Changing

The merger between ISIS – Lincoln College provided the perfect opportunity.

Too much duplication of data, time consuming and frustrating.

OneFile was the perfect platform for creating electronic ILP’s.

Ability to create and customise forms and, link data.

How it works

The ILP template in OneFile was customised to meet our needs.

All data entered onto OneFile is linked to the ILP.

A range of data forms were created to capture any additional information and also linked to the ILP.

ILP becomes an organic document that can be constantly changed and updated.

The future………………

Continue to develop E-Learning, E-Assessment and data capture to reduce and eventually eliminate paper.

Extensive use of smartphones with learners utilising the OneFile NOMAD app.

Includes encouraging learners to capture evidence themselves and do remote learning and assessments.
