This two-year collaborative project aims to revolutionize the delivery of Social Care and Business programs through a blended learning approach. By producing shareable and adaptable learning objects, we will embed the "BlendEd" philosophy within Scottish Further Education. Our goal is to enable curriculum staff to create high-quality learning resources without extensive technical expertise, ensuring consistency and interoperability. Benefits of this topic-based object approach include enhanced material quality, ease of sharing across institutions, and improved student engagement and control over their learning process.
