1. RIPPLL (Regional Interoperability Project on Progression for Lifelong Learning)
•Test LEAP for moving data both between institutions and also between institution and employer (in both directions)
•Pilot LEAP within the City of Nottingham Passport and support development of new Passportfolio system as fully LEAP compliant
•Provide a range of scenarios and use cases

Vision being explored through 12 projects developing eportfolios for lifelong learning.Susie makes decisions at key stages about, assisted by a lifelong learning record or ePortfolio to apply for courses and jobs and to plan career decisions
MUSCLE: joint learner records for schools and colleges
SHELL: regional student lifelong learning record
Nottingham: work between City and University to allow wider access to Higher Education
NIIMLE: giving students access to lifelong learning record through a web portal
QMUL: supporting online PDP for work-based learners on degree courses
UEO: providing training for union representatives through national network of colleges
CRA: work to develop technically and culturally sustainable lifelong learning record

Areas studied by eP4LL
Data transfer and data look-up
• ePF4LL started with data transfer and moved on to data look-up via web services within the Framework
• It is exploring the idea of the ‘thin’ ePF application, interacting with ePF-enabled services
• Feasibility of ePF for LLL depends partly on reusability of technology – patterns: identifying analogous processes and common web services

Synergies
• RIPPLL Reference Model– Real world testbed– Scenarios and use cases
• Reference Model RIPPLL– Web services approach– Shibboleth: distributed access to data = far
more workable model
ePortfolio DevelopmentsNottingham University (and partners)
2. Reference Model: eP4LL (e-portfolio for Lifelong Learning)
•More e-portfolio use cases with methodology
•Definition of common services (the generic software that links data and software together such as an orchestration service)
•Contributions to technical standards development
•Source of expertise for government and its agencies.
Technical Achievements
• Use of LEAP• Use of XSLT (extensible style sheet
language transform)• Web service in receivers domain
