Session/Paper Information
Session/Paper Title (maximum 15 words):
Optimizing Online Work Based Learning using the JISC WBL Maturity Toolkit
Brief Abstract (150-300 words; this abstract should be suitable for publication in the conference
program)
The JISC WBL Maturity Toolkit was used by Swansea Metropolitan University to optimize the design
of Online distance learning courses for work-based learners. The University provides logistics training
for the UK armed forces based in Germany and elsewhere and Online distance learning delivery
made complete sense.
Although the University has been involved in a number of innovative e-learning development
projects, Online delivery of work-based distance learning was new. This paper describes how the
development team used the WBL Maturity Toolkit developed by JISC, the primary TEL support
organization in the UK, as part of a structured design process. The paper will show how use of the
toolkit shaped the Online course design in preparation for approval and validation by the University.
The work was carried out as part of a JISC funded project which involved a number of other
University partners. The paper will also summarize the outcomes of those Online WBL developments
at those institutions and will describe how they used the WBL Toolkit in that process.
