The UPC Repository
The UPC Repository project is funded by the JISC under the JISC Capital Circular 1/07: Cross Institutional Support of Lifelong Learning programme.
The University of Plymouth Colleges (UPC) Faculty at the University of Plymouth has a requirement to develop a repository which will meet the needs of a regional partnership and is capable of storing a range of materials including:
- teaching materials that can be used with a range of VLEs in use across the partnership;
- research outputs that can be used in a research informed teaching context;
- administrative documentation used to support a range of programmes;
- documentation to assist with Integrated Quality and Enhancement Reviews (IQERs).
There is a requirement for sharing good practice and making learning materials available to students in a manner which places students’ needs at the heart of their learning experience in both the college and work based learning environments. The UPC Repository will allow the sharing of materials across a network of colleges and allow staff access to a range of support materials. The lessons learned in delivering and using the UPC Repository across institutions would be transferable to other partnerships within HE and HE in FE.
The UPC Repository project is managed by Dr Neil Witt and Dr Anne McDermott from the HELP CETL
