The UsPaCe project is complete but there is still a lot of interest. Today we gave a 3 hour workshop on the project and the tools that we used but we took the opportunity to mention Pineapple and not surprisingly the discussion turned to APEL. It seems that everyone has some experience of thinking about or doing APEL even if they do not realised that is what it is called. We were able to give some advice and gather more information from the learner’s perspective.

Yesterday I was at the (University of Plymouth Colleges) UPC summer conference titled ‘A whole new CETL of Fish’ which took place on campus. The Pineapple Project had a display at the event and it received quite a lot of interest. I attended a workshop on the growing importance of APEL and updated delegates on the Pineapple Project.
