The Pineapple baseline report can now be downloaded from http://hdl.handle.net/10293/356 . It covers local policy (University of Plymouth), looks at drivers, models and stakeholders. We hope you will find it useful.
Rob and Harriet enjoyed a very useful assembly last week. Thanks go to Ibrar and the team at Bradford for hosting the event. It was good to get a chance to share ideas and discuss specific issues about APEL in HE – lots to think about!
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.
The project has emailed its baseline study of APEL to the JISC. As soon as it has been given the OK it will appear on this site. We have looked at drivers, models and local practice. We will use the baseline to shape the first iteration of the pineapple tool.
The team have been busy working on our baseline study which we are hoping to get finished for next Monday although we anticipate this to be an ongoing piece of work.
Yesterday we had Ruth Drysdale, Tish Roberts and George Roberts visit us from JISC. We had an excellent meeting through the afternoon discussing our progress and plans so far.
We all went away happy with our progress and invigorated to continue our work with the baseline study. We also had a really nice buffet with lots of local goodies as seen here 
Hurrah, all JISC project planning documentation (and more) has been sent off today.
This website will be used to host all information regarding the PineAPPLe Project. This website is currently under development so expect a lot more content soon.
In the meantime have a look at this video by Dr Neil Witt and Dr Harriet Dismore providing an introduction to the project.
Time to go through the proposal with a fine-tooth comb looking. The JISC templates are time consuming but it’s good opportunity to double check the work flows. I have developed some extra templates to plot the work package inputs and outputs so I suppose I have made it worse – but it helps me work out the critical path.
