Development of on-line Skills Profiles
The Welsh Assembly Government, through its Department for Children, Education, Lifelong Learning and Skills (DCELLS) has commissioned CRIPSAT to oversee the development of an innovative project for the electronic recording of learners’ Skills Profiles in Wales, in line with the new process-based curriculum. The solution offers a web-based environment built by Connect Internet Solutions. The Skills Profiles comprise a set of digital tools to support teachers’ planning, recording and reporting of learners’ skills development in Thinking, Number and Communication. The system will allow teachers to upload multi-media materials as supporting evidence of learners’ achievements. Over the next two years, using empirical data from two Pilot phases, the project will deliver a bi-lingual, web-based tool which will meet accessibility guidelines to ensure access for all. This project runs between January 2007 and December 2009.
