Common Design• Students can self-enrol onto Workspace • Given guidance to ‘collect the resource’ in
module• Academic & Careers staff manually enrolled
onto workspace• Act as Approvers and mentors
![Page 16: PPBash Presentation BSBecker Wed 15-09-16](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042908/58f09f9f1a28abee668b45f7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Business & Law Design• PebblePad nested workbook• Three levels of achievement• Bronze – Silver – Gold not aligned to year of study• Each Award level contains 5 skill topics
Soft Skills Personal Development Social Action / Volunteering Work Experience & Preparation Academic Skills
• Tasks within each Skill separated into Essential Stretch
![Page 17: PPBash Presentation BSBecker Wed 15-09-16](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042908/58f09f9f1a28abee668b45f7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Cultural Studies Design• Lowest graduate employment• Low understanding of marketable employment skills• PebblePad nested workbook developed• 3 stages: Plan, Engage & Achieve• Emphasis on mapping existing skills to employment
agenda• No academic skills element to award• No corporate ‘branding’ so owned by student
