  1. Analysis of FLLLEX-RadarOran DohertyRPL and WBL Facilitator at LYIT

  2. Background to the Self Assessment Tool • LYIT FLLLEX representative first viewed FLLLEX-Radar in January 2011. • Original thoughts: • Quantity of questions contained in the tool; • In depth nature of the questions; • Organising focus groups (would they agree to participate…..); • Would focus groups understand questions; • Writing the report to represent focus group findings.

  3. Background to the Self Assessment Tool • It was agreed that 4 focus groups would be used to gather information: • Focus Group 1: LLL decision makers; • Focus Group 2: Lecturers; • Focus Group 3: Learners; • Focus Group 4: Employers. • Introductory presentation developed explaining FLLLEX Project, LLL at LYIT, LLL in Ireland and internationally and objectives of the tool.

  4. Focus Group 1 • Focus Group 1 subsequently met 4 times to answer the questions posed in FLLLEX-Radar. • Provided a good forum for discussing LLL and for determining current situation at LYIT • In the first meeting we identified the composition of each focus group. • This was important to establish early in order to organise focus groups.

  5. Positive Elements of the Tool • Wide Range of information gathered. • Current situation of LLL locally, nationally and internationally. • Identification of various stakeholders • RPL • Promotion of LLL • Inclusion of numerous stakeholders • Acts like a checklist • Can be externally assessed once completed.

  6. Possible areas for improvement • Reduce Content • Due to number of questions and in-depth nature of some questions, this is a very time consuming exercise. • Organising 4 focus groups also challenging • Different set of questions for different focus groups. • More emphasis on future as opposed to past and present.

  7. LYIT’s reaction to FLLLEX-Radar. • A very useful exercise. • The project ensured that the Head of Development, LLL Coordinator and WBL/RPL Facilitator sat down and formally discussed LLL. Provided good structure for discussing LLL. • Better understanding as to our current situation. • Good to get the views and opinions of several stakeholders and make comparisons. • Great getting the views and opinions of the expert panel in relation to LYIT and LLL.

  8. Recommendations for other HE providers using FLLLEX-Radar • Do no underestimate the work load involved. • Plan ahead – especially in relation to composition of focus groups. • Develop an introductory presentation explaining: • FLLLEX; • FLLLEX-Radar • LLL in Europe; • LLL in the provider’s county; • LLL at the host institute. • Ensure the key LLL personnel are involved • Act on the findings and make a list of “to do’s” afterwards
