Final thoughts on the
Toolbox
Great idea, some very
useful resources, some resources that we will keep on using past the project
deadline such as Jobmatch, Animoto and Blogger. Some resources we have “bought
into” because we can see the benefits that they will bring, but one of the
primary reasons for purchasing has been the relatively cheap cost. A prime consideration for most third sector providers.
Some of the tools are visually exciting, and could make a real impact on
learners’, and some of the tools are perfunctory.
Unfortunately a lot of
duplication of the tools within the steps of the learner journey, and a number
of the tools require purchasing to get any real benefit from. Personally I would have liked a tool in the “Reviewing
learners’ progress” step that measured the before, the in-between and the after
portions of a learner’s journey. For me, a tool like that would be really
meaningful, and of benefit to our organisation.
Everyone from our
organisation has enjoyed taking part in this project, it has proved to be a
really distraction from the front-end of delivering. We all welcome the
prospect of tools and resources to enhance our delivery, especially if that
come at very little cost. Having the chance to do things differently, or to
innovate our induction process, or to roll out a really useful resource such as
jobmatch makes the job that little bit more bearable.
