A Moodle site for Horses
Well not exactly for horses themselves! RI has in fact been contacted to develop a Moodle based VLE for the British Racing School (BRS). This is a new development for the BRS and will allow their students to access the e-learning materials that RI developed for them last year over the internet. It is intended that these materials will be the first of many to be hosted on-line via Moodle. The project should be completed by the end of March 2010.
On-line safety for the care sector
RI has been asked to provide an e-learning package for carers working for the Linkage Community Trust. The e-learning programme is being designed to help improve the awareness of the carers, in respect to the dangers associated with the use of the Internet and other forms of electronic communication. The material should be available for piloting in March this year. The materials are to be hosted on the Moodle site that RI established for Linkage last year.
Fresh Produce Standards - project completed
RI has recently completed the development of a new set of National Occupational Standards for the Fresh produce sector. Patrick McDaniel, Managing Director of RI said "This has been a very rewarding piece of work. We have had input from a huge variety of companies, representing all the component parts of the sector. The project has really benefited from the enthusiastic inputs that company representatives have made. I am sure that these new standards will be a real asset providing an effective tool that will aid the development of those that work in the sector”.
Assessors and trainers wanted
We are interested in hearing from qualified trainers and assessors to support a new business opportunity. Please email your CV to patrick@ritraining.co.uk.
SQA Moodle site goes live!
With testing complete, the new SQA Moodle site that has been developed by RI is to go live this Friday, the 15th of January. A pilot group of students will use the Wiki and Blog functions on the site to develop collaborative project work in support of their individual development. This will be the first time that SQA have used Moodle in the way.
Moodle site extension
The Seafish moodle site has been operating successfully for nearly a year. Seafish have now asked RI to extend its application to provide access to a further five safety courses required by UK fishermen/women. Topics to be covered include fire fighting, first aid and basic health and safety.
Aquaculture and Fishing management Standards
RI have recently completed a project for Lantra SCC, to review and update the National Occupational Standards that support the UK Aquaculture and Fisheries Management sector.
Linkage successful in safeguarding
A leading national charity has been able to improve the quality and accessibility of their training in Safeguarding Individuals. RI Training has worked in partnership with Linkage, a national charity, to develop an e-learning course on Safeguarding Individuals. The team at RI have also designed and built a LMS based on Moodle to enable staff at Linkage to access the course at a time and place to suit them.
Sustainability standards to be developed for Cogent
RI has been contracted by Cogent, the sector skills council for science based industries, to support the development of some new National Occupational Standards. It is anticipated that these standards will help to promote the future development of sustainability in the industries that fall within the Cogent footprint. These include the pharmaceutical, chemical, petroleum, polymer and nuclear industries.
Patrick McDaniel, Managing Director of RI said “This is an exciting opportunity for RI enabling us to widen our industrial experience as well as to continue our support for the development of sustainable business practice”.
