Some of the Pineapple team were at Alt-C last week.  We took some Pineapple flyers to sunny Manchester to put on the JISC stand.  There were some interesting sessions and it was a good networking opportunity.

We’re looking forward to visiting the University of  Bradford on 8th October to take part in an assembly on APEL. This will give us the opportunity to share ideas with other JISC projects about APEL issues.  All we need is to get the presentation ready!

The pilot survey has now been sent out to a sample of people from different colleges. This time next week we should have all the feedback and will be able to start making any necessary changes. The final version will be ready to send out to all HE in FE programme managers  in a few weeks time.

Went to a CETIS run XCRI introductory meeting yesterday. Interesting to hear from those who are already working in this area. I can see that, if widely adopted, in the future XCRI could help to make APL less of a problem as it would be easy to find out about course content even where there was no exam.
