- Summary:
-
This bulletin is an update of Britain's Further Education Unit (FEU) activities associated with the continuing development of a post-16 national credit and accumulation transfer (CAT) framework proposed in February 1992. It begins with a summary of feedback from the field: the central proposition--the need for a post-16 CAT system--was enthusiastically and widely endorsed; strong support for a national CAT framework was indicated; the question of the need for grading was raised; the credit-based approach was seen as a powerful tool for making changes in curriculum content, methods of delivery, and assessment within institutions; and real dilemmas were indicated about the appropriate structure/organization at a national level. The next section discusses development initiatives FEU is mounting as a result of the positive response: background papers relating to crucial technical issues, an international survey of credit systems, and relevance of a credit framework to the pre-16 phase and establishment of a national network to support and link up colleges involved in credit-based developments. The bulletin also reports on three initiatives: (1) a national CAT development project to research the potential of credit-based learning to provide fundamental change in higher and further education; (2) Open College Networks that provide accreditation for those programs outside mainstream qualifications; and (3) credit framework developments in Wales and across the country.
