Leeds City College School of Business adopts Disrupt Curriculum conversion technology

Introduction:

Leeds City College School of Business, one of the largest colleges in the UK, has adopted Disrupt Curriculum conversion technology to change the delivery model of its CIPD programs. The College is using Disrupt Direct to eLearning Technology for Curriculum conversion in the Business School, with the first program being its CIPD professional qualifications and apprenticeships delivered to employers in the region.

The Challenge:

The senior Tutor on the program, Jonathan Broadhurst, had been wanting to change the delivery model of the CIPD programs for a long time. However, he found it difficult to do so due to the prohibitive time and resource requirements. The School needed a solution that would allow them to convert their delivery notes and resources into SCORM eLearning easily and quickly.

“Up until the introduction of Disrupt this was simply not possible as the time and resource for us to do it would have been prohibitive.”

The Solution:

The College implemented Disrupt Direct to eLearning Technology for Curriculum conversion in the Business School. The technology allowed them to convert all their delivery notes and resources into SCORM eLearning and select the blend and mix of delivery methods they wanted. They were able to deploy the new pathway journeys to the students themselves, quickly and easily.

The College used the Disrupt LMS not just as a development tool but as a distinct and powerful front-end management, support, and reporting VLE for external students to access directly. The new portal, branded and seamlessly accessed via the College website, offers the study flexibility that employers and their learners require.

Results:

The adoption of Disrupt Curriculum conversion technology has enabled Leeds City College School of Business to change the delivery model of its CIPD programs. The College can now offer its students a more flexible and effective learning experience. With the Disrupt technology, the School has been able to convert all its delivery notes and resources into SCORM eLearning, select the blend and mix of delivery methods they want, and deploy the new pathway journeys to the students themselves, quickly and easily.

Jonathan Broadhurst, the senior Tutor on the programme and the lead on the Project said: “Up until the introduction of Disrupt this was simply not possible as the time and resource for us to do it would have been prohibitive. Now, with the Disrupt technology, I can take all my delivery notes and resources and simply convert them into SCORM eLearning, select the blend and mix of delivery methods I want and deploy the new pathway journeys to the students myself, quickly and easily. Changing the delivery Model for our CIPD programmes has been a priority for me for a long time – we’re so glad we did this.”
