Mapping assessments as part of curriculum design

At stage 4 ICT apprenticeship training, Functional skills requires that students complete an Employability module as key elements. Given the diverse mix of students on the course, from those yet to start work, those on day release and those undertaking retraining, the employability module in the words of Dominic Thompson lecturer at Highbury College "Is a bit of a dry subject". So he decided to combine an ICT website design project with this subject area to improve interest and engagement. The result was a series of excellent websites, far better engagement by the students, better results than the year before and completion by the whole class of the employability module.

The Digilit Leicester project is designed to ensure school staff and learners are getting the most from the significant investment in technology being made across the city, and that schools are able to make best use of technology to meet their aspirations for transforming educational provision. It will help schools make sure every learner attending a BSF Programme school benefits not only from a school with world-class technology provision, but from an education that is supported and enhanced by the use of technology to raise achievement and aspiration, connect communities and open opportunities.
