Delivering RARPA: a college-wide digital approach
Wiltshire College and University Centre has developed a college-wide digital approach to deliver RARPA (Recognising and Recording Progress and Achievement) for its diverse student body, which includes over 350 high needs learners. The new system aims to reduce paperwork, improve efficiency, and provide a user-friendly, secure environment for tracking student progress across various programs. Feedback from both students and staff indicates the system's effectiveness in enhancing learning experiences and facilitating better communication regarding educational outcomes.
