Development

Lecturers at the University of Warwick and City College Coventry will working collaboratively with educational developers and technologists from the Centre for Academic Practice and the ITS eLab to:

• Collate and catalogue electronic resources within an appropriate metadata scheme;
• Create an online database that tutors and students can both search and browse, and which will seamlessly deliver resources to technically- and educationally-diverse environments;
• Explore ways in which the resources can be re-purposed for a variety of contexts and modes of delivery, and integrated in exemplary fashion into actual teaching practice;
• Implement and evaluate the effectiveness of the pedagogical and technological approaches;
• Systematically document and reflect on these processes in each learning context and extract outcomes that have value for and impact on HE and FE sectors as a whole;
• Incorporate in the collection descriptions of effective learning interactions and user experiences;
• Disseminate project resources and outcomes through generic and subject-specific channels.

Software systems to support the ARCHES project

Three inter-linked levels of software systems have been suggested in support of the ARCHES programme. The inter-relationship between the three systems is shown in the figure below.
