Open badges are digital credentials that earners can display anywhere on the web. They are underpinned by an open accreditation infrastructure developed by Mozilla, which enables the issuing of open badges to recognise granular achievements gained through formal and informal learning opportunities and to capture attributes not picked up in formal qualifications, such as the individual qualities that could help a student stand out in the job market. This workshop will focus on effective open badge system development, introducing Mozilla and Jisc toolkits to support badge system design and a strategic approach to implementing open badges in a formal education context. The session will be led by Mozilla and Jisc, and will include tips, case studies and guidance on best practice in badge system design. Participants will gain hands-on experience with tools they can use for developing open badge systems for motivating learning, supporting engagement and progression and enhancing employability.

It provides details on how the portfolio should be organized and indexed, dividing evidence into sections for raising awareness of apprenticeships and completing a community project. Specific examples are given of the types of evidence that could be included for each section to illustrate how the judging criteria have been met.
This document is an evidence tracker for raising the profile of apprenticeships. It tracks two pieces of evidence: 15 screenshots posted on an intranet to promote apprenticeships, and two articles in an internal company newsletter promoting apprenticeships that appeared in February and March 2014 issues. Page references in a portfolio are provided for each evidence item.
The document provides information for teams participating in the Brathay Apprentice Challenge regional heats. It outlines the requirements and judging criteria for the heats, which involve raising awareness of apprenticeships, completing a community project, and participating in National Apprenticeship Week.

The toolkit offers guidance and examples to help teams complete the regional heat tasks successfully.
The Brathay Apprentice Challenge is an annual competition that searches for the apprentice team of the year. Teams of nine apprentices from a single employer or group of employers compete in regional heats by raising awareness of apprenticeships and completing a community project. The top teams advance to the national finals, which involves further awareness-raising, fundraising, and an adventure-based team building event. Participating in the challenge provides apprentices with opportunities to develop skills like teamwork, leadership, project management, and communication that are valuable for their careers.
The document provides answers to frequently asked questions about the Brathay Apprentice Challenge 2014. Key details include:
- Teams must submit their apprentice names by January 31st, 2014. As long as an apprentice is still completing their apprenticeship on January 6th, they can participate even if they finish before regional or final heats.
- The team mentor can provide support and guidance but cannot do any of the tasks or research - the apprentices must plan and complete all aspects of the challenge themselves.
- Apprentice teams can use existing social media accounts but may not be able to use their company name on accounts due to marketing policies.
- Substitute apprentices are allowed if
The document provides information from various employers around the UK on promoting apprenticeships and best practices for engagement events. It summarizes experiences from Plymouth City Council, NexteriaOne, Leeds City Council, and other organizations. Their events included school visits, career fairs, employer breakfasts, and competitions.

It discusses national and local apprenticeship initiatives, facts and statistics about apprenticeships, how to search for vacancies, details about traineeships, and available resources. Contact information is also provided for the National Apprenticeship Service and National Careers Service.
The document discusses writing strategies for social media. It recommends writing in a short, punchy style tailored for quick scanning on screens. Content should be engaging with short paragraphs, subheadings and imagery. For social media, writing should be short and shareable in under 100 characters, timely, conversational and call readers to action. Successful content taps into human emotions and bonds to encourage sharing and focuses on topics people discuss like other people, feelings and their daily lives.
The National Apprenticeship Awards recognize outstanding achievement in apprenticeships in the UK. Employers and apprentices can enter various categories, and winners gain recognition, media coverage, and membership in advisory boards. Judges look for commitment to developing workforces, business benefits from apprenticeships, and personal achievements exceeding expectations. The deadline to enter is March 28, and winners are selected through regional and national judging panels between April and November. Support is available to help applicants through marketing materials, FAQs, and a helpdesk.
The document outlines plans for National Apprenticeship Week 2014 from March 3-7. It discusses the importance of the week in promoting apprenticeships. Suggestions are provided for activities employers can do during the week, such as pledging apprenticeship vacancies, hosting open houses, and engaging with local schools and politicians. Resources are available at apprenticeships.org.uk to help employers participate successfully.
Leeds City Council spoke at the Northern National Apprenticeship Week (#NAW2014) partners event about their role as:
- An apprentice employer
- A promoter of Apprenticeships
- A co-ordinator of Apprenticeships across the city
The 'messaging and reputation' breakout session from the January 2013 NAS partner workshop looked at some new DRAFT messaging for Apprenticeships and invited feedback.
The document discusses new ideas for effective media relations in 3 or fewer sentences. It suggests using words like creating a Twitter cue and SEO-friendly press releases. It also recommends using data through open datasets and infographics. For images, it advises having photos ready on Flickr and featuring apprentice work. Creating video through job swaps or editing existing footage is also outlined. Spending a small amount on tools like a press phone and promoted social media posts can further media outreach goals.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

In an education system, it is understood that assessment is only for the students, but on the other hand, the Assessment of teachers is also an important aspect of the education system that ensures teachers are providing high-quality instruction to students.

Editor's Notes
Word of mouth is still important and we know from research by the AoC that not only are careers staff and teachers vital sources of information about further education options, but that these key influencers can be poorly informed about non-academic options. We need to educate them as well as reach young people and parents directly.AoC research here: http://www.aoc.co.uk/en/newsroom/aoc_news_releases.cfm/id/F0680F00-88BD-4F9A-937E6FC2EE0B1630
Use clear and simple language > Avoid ‘vocational’ or ‘education’ and use ‘path’ or ‘future’ to create the idea of making decisions that are long term in nature.Market information, deliver information and inspiration> ‘Have a go’ is not what gets young people or parents to events but it is key part of decision making and getting people excited about the opportunities available to them and others.Remember the WIIFM (What’s In It For Me) > Provide and market something or someone that is of interest to young people. > Celebrities, food and music were all regularly mentioned as being drivers to attend.Market to parents and to young people > Children and young people perceive finding out what they need to know as boring, so they are only likely to attend events if they are made to, probably by their parents. > Marketing an event should not overly focus on the element of ‘fun with groups of mates’ as this does not make young people comfortable or engaged.Provide information for parents > Parents feel that they need more information to support their children’s choices, by using events or other communications to inform them about the opportunities afforded by vocational qualifications it will be possible to change their minds about vocational education and get information to young people.Try to fill the gap left by the absence of careers advisors > Young people now don’t receive independent advice and any ways in which a College can fill this gap will help raise awareness and the profile of Colleges’ work.Utilise social media, traditional media and relationships > Young people believe that social media is the best way to get a message to people like them but are most keen for Colleges to contact them via email. > Traditional media such as local papers will work for communicating with parents.
Involve employers wherever possible > This adds credibility and provides motivation for young people to attend an event.Be honest > Don’t be afraid to be honest, the warts and all approach is important and will not put off all young people, they want a realistic picture and are savvy to sales pitches. They want to understand the down sides and risks and make a reasoned and informed decision.Be open > Events should focus on what young people will actually be doing on a course, so where possible should involve example classes, as young people want to be aware of the reality rather than just the marketing version.Involve real people with relevant experience > Events should involve current and past students, tutors and people working in the relevant areas. Make the route obvious > Young people will respond well to the journey of ‘see, try, ask’ (showcase, ‘have a go’, information, advice and guidance), but the way to do this will need to be clear through thematic grouping and clear signage. It’s not just about finding out what you like, it’s about finding out what you’re good at > Where possible, the ‘have a go’ element of an event should involve a competitive or comparative element. Young people don’t just want to find out about skills, they also want to understand what they are good at relative to their peers and find this inspiring. Provide mostly group-based events but some individual opportunities > Young people preferred group-based activities across all types of events. With teenagers, avoid embarrassment at all costs > Providing solo opportunities to ‘have a go’ may be engaging for some harder to reach groups. They don’t necessarily want to try skills with groups of their friends. While it should be easy to take the opportunity to ‘have a go’, it shouldn’t necessarily be public.

The Co-operative’s Green Schools RevolutionSince Sept 2010 has engaged over 6,300 schools across the UK with a sustainable education programmeProgramme has rich content and a variety of activities to keep schools engaged and helps deliver their Eco schools agendasRelevant and credible resources linked to the curriculum – with competitions, school visits, focus weeks and volunteer visitsEngaging website with all resources and activities – www.greenschools.coopOn going dialogue and newsletter with school keeps schools motivated and informed.Green Schools Revolution has made an enormous impact to thousands of schools across the UK through engaging material, school visits and new activities each year.
Leeds City College is the UK’s third largest FE establishment, teaching more than 45,000 students. Its courses cover almost all subject areas and include full and part-time academic and vocational qualifications. Events play a core part in its student recruitment strategy and the College hosts a range of general open days, and faculty specific showcase sessions at key times of the year. Last year, it held 13 showcase events, which combined, attracted more than 690 visitors. Central to driving this high footfall is how the events have been promoted – in particular, through its website and local schools. Schools liaison specifically has really paid off and this is now an important focus for the Marketing Events team. Steven Knowles, Marketing Events Manager, Leeds City College explains: “Around 95% of event visitors said they found out about it via our website or through their child’s school. Schools have a strong influence over the decisions parents and young people make about education, and as such are increasingly becoming a more widely used channel to promote our events. “Not only that, but we are now organising events specifically for schools. Through collaboration with our 14-19 team, the Marketing Events team now offer schools a dedicated events menu from which they can pick and choose how they want to engage with us. Events take place either on school premises or at the College.” The events Leeds City College offer to schools includes: College presentations at year group assemblies and parents events Curriculum roadshows which enable pupils to chat and engage with representatives from up to four curriculum areas specified by the school CPD/staff development sessions to raise school staff awareness of FE and how to best advise young people on their journey to FE and beyond Tasters and tours of the College, tailored to suit school requirements GCSE & AS/A Level Results open day events whereby pupils and their parents can drop into the College to discuss FE/HE options following their results. Knowles concludes: “This tailored approach has not only been more effective than paid advertising but has also improved our relationship with schools.”
