Partners' contributions to KLearn

09-July-2006

This is a space where partners can clarify what they are to do in contributing material from their countries on the value of workplace learning partnerships, the outcome of their interviews, experiences with different approaches to planning, review and reflection; their piloting experiences and so on.

Note we have an index folder for the value of WLPs with nested sub-folders for each country on the main part of the site. What would be helpful is for each partner to contribute material (in English or your native language) about the operation of WLPs both generally and in your own country.

You might also like to respond to Pekka's ideas about planning, reviewing, reflection.

The intention will be to build up a series of resources (both in the form of content in the index folders and discussions in blogs talking about particular use-cases, dummy screen shots of how certain things might be achieved etc. We also have a tools development section outlining what is available now, what is coming etc. and how these tools might be used individually and in combination.

You will see we have rebranded part of the existing site as:

Klearn: sharing knowledge and learning about workplace learning partnerships

Pekka's diagrams can be used as a vision of what we might eventually achieve.

It is important that all partners contribute detailed accounts of their experiences on the project so far so that we can decide how to present the material within this approach. We will of course use the national reports and case studies, but we need your more recent experiences too (and do not forget you can also have as one of your contributions a pointing to resources on WLPs on delicious).

Ideally you should contribute ideas directly into the blogs, but you can also send material as email attachments - but the most important thing is that we get your material and experiences on the project in some form so that we can integrate these into a coherent whole that represents what has been achieved in each partner country as well as the project as a whole.

Representations of the WLP process

07-July-2006

Tom Leney suggested that the planning, development, implementation, evaluation cycle is well established and that we are offering variants on that. So here is one representationof what we are trying to do. Should we collect a number of representations of the WLP process.

Workplace Learning Partnership:

Planning (initial discussions):
agreement on a focus for partnership given organisational needs, competences and ways in which partnership could work

The plan (development process):
This shows the key points in the partnership, the goals and activities to achieve the required outcomes.

Implementation:
implementation of the agreed activities as part of an agreed process.

The Review
Once the initial cycle of events is complete — the partners should gather thoughts and ideas on the activities, how far the original objectives have been met and whether the desired outcomes have been achieved.

Reflection:
sharing ideas with how to keep moving forward with the partnership (not just refining intial agreed set of activities).
