Welcome to the WALES Website

 

WALES (Work-based Access to Learning through E-Services) is the name of a JISC funded project to evaluate the use of mobile technology and social software in support of on-line learners.

 

 

The broad aim of the WALES project is to:

Implement and evaluate the use of social software and mobile technologies in the delivery of a personalised learning experience for work-based learners following an HE e-learning programme supported by FE institutions.

The project objectives are to:

·         Design, implement and evaluate a tutor support system that includes the use of  social software such as Blogs, Wikis, instant messaging and discussion forums

·         Include in the support system the use of social on-line resource providers such as Google, MySpace, YouTube and del.icio.us

·         Include also, the use of mobile technologies; mobile phones, PDAs, iPods, WiFi and UPC devices

·         Evaluate the effectiveness of the technologies in the context of HE on-line courses being delivered by FE staff to work-based learners

·         Evaluate the effectiveness of the technologies in support of the administration of collaborative teaching and learning and access to support services

 

This site will be used to host all the project documentation, links and other resources and will be accessible to the project team and all interested stakeholders.
