Description
Introduction
Leeds Trinity University is a small University, with about 450 FTE staff, and about 4,500 students
We are seeking preliminary market information from solution providers regarding an asynchronous CPD platform delivery system and tools to assist us with preparation of a business case, and procurement strategy should the business case be approved by internal stakeholders.
The platform is required to enable us to deliver, monitor and quality assure a range of CPD opportunities to specific members of the workforce of our Initial Teacher Training Partnership schools.
Our understanding is that there is a wide variety of solutions available, but our institutional experience, expertise and capacity for training means a strong preference for systems based on Moodle. We have no preconceptions about which price point will ultimately be suitable, but an indication of cost over 2 - 3 years would be useful.
Solution requirements and/or specification
We are genuinely open to variant proposals, however for background information, we believe our specification might encompass the following:
• A system that provides access to training packages (videos, quizzes, assignments, reading resources) for 800-1000 Mentors and Host Teachers (in 21-22) in ITT placements schools,
• A system that is fit for purpose 'off the shelf', requiring minimal customisation and development, based on Moodle.
• Capable of accepting user data from our Teacher Training Placement system in a standard format to automatically create, update and disable user accounts'
• Compatible with existing systems such as Abyasa, Turnitin, Panopto, which we already use
• Ready to track Completion and Engagement
• Capable of being extended to 'pay as you learn' model for other forms of CPD.
• Comprehensive user activity reporting - including but not limited to login, engagement, progress, scores, completion and certification.
• Training for members of LTU staff in using the system
• Guides for partnership workforce for using the system
• Accessible and intuitive interfaces and workflows for staff and third parties
• Templates and other features to allow staff to create and populate activities, modules and programmes of CPD.
• Flexible, scalable, and reliable hosting capacity to enable us to respond to increases in demand.
