Overview of Project
1. Background
Members of the SHEEN Employability Co-ordinators’ Network (ECN) have highlighted that significant time is spent surveying, collating and developingexamples of good practice, with a number of institutions wishing to develop institutional “tool kits” for staff and students. To avoid duplication of effort and toenhance the effectiveness of work in this area, it was decided to explore use of Web 2.0 functionality to collate resources from multiple sites (includingexisting repositories), and to enable different communities of users to communicate, and share,develop and disseminate materials in a collaborative way.
2. Aims and Objectives
This project aims to support the ECN in utilising online tools within their community to share resources, and to discuss the use of such resources in a usefulway. It will also support discovery and dissemination of relevant employability resources to stakeholders outwith the ECN, e.g. academics, staff developers,student support departments, etc. The project’s outputs and findings will benefit the wider education community, and the FE and HE funding bodies acrossthe UKby contributing to sector knowledge and understanding of theuse of current Web technologiesforresource sharing and development, and communitysupport.
3. Overall Approach
This project will take an iterative, exploratory approach to:
•
examining how the ECN can make best use of the Web to share resources and practice amongst themselves;
•
developing their effectiveness as a community of practice;
•
making relevant resources available to other stakeholder groups, such as universities’career s services, HEA subject centres, academics, etc.

The project will be managed by Cherie Woolmer, Employability Co-ordinator at Strathclyde University, with the bulk of the work carried out by the ProjectConsultant, Sarah Currier, and overseen by the project Development Group, composed of volunteers from the ECN, with input from relevant parties at theHigher Education Academy. For more details on the reporting structure and responsibilities of project participants, see the Project Resources section below.The early phase of the project will involve a review of relevant findings from other projects and research, and requirements gathering in small group and/or one-to-one interviews. Participants will then be supported in small trial groups to try out different Web 2.0 resource sharing and community building tools, andencouraged to use these tools to evaluate and share their experiences.As the project progresses, findings will be shared at relevant intervals with the SHEEN Steering Group and the project Development Group, through regular blog postings, and more formal reports at the Steering Group meetings. This will enable potential barriers, risks, and requirements for further resource to behighlighted in a timely fashion.A dissemination event will be held near the end of the project to share findings and resources with the SHEEN community and stakeholders. A Final Reportwill be presented to the SHEEN Steering Group, detailing findings and recommendations for sustainability of the project outputs and any ongoing work or resources needed. This report will be co-ordinated and synthesized by the Project Consultant, but all participants in the project will be encouraged to havedirect input, again through the use of Web 2.0 technologies (e.g. blogs, wikis, comment/discussion in community group spaces).
4. Project Outputs
Project outputs will include:
•
Snapshot review of Web 2.0 technologies and their potential application to resource sharing and community building.
•
Review of research literature and previous and current outputs from similar Web 2.0 initiatives.
•
Report on user and other stakeholder requirements, including review of current practice and skills of ECN.
•
User training sessions with accompanying Web 2.0 Beginners' Manual.
•
Report on user trials of Web 2.0 technologies and tools.
•
Regular progress reports as detailed in Appendix A: Workpackages.
•
Dissemination event in September 2009.
•
Final report detailing findings, exit strategy and sustainability plan for project.
