| (MA)
Senior Lecturer in Learning and Language Development,
University of North London (UNL). 9 Reedholm

My
current post is Senior Lecturer in Learning
and Language Development at the University
of North London (UNL). I have been working
at UNL for seven years, four and a half
in this post. Prior to coming to UNL I worked
as Women's Development Officer in the Access
and Community Liaison Unit at London Guildhall
University and before that for twenty years
in Adult and Further Education, mainly in
ESOL and Adult Literacy.
I
became involved with experiential learning
while working in further education when
Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning
(APEL) started to develop in the UK in conjunction
with National Vocational Qualifications
(NVQs). I was concerned at the lack of consideration
given to issues around language and experiential
learning, since a lot of my work was teaching
language and literacy to adults in work
situations or in conjunction with the learning
of a practical skill. In 1993 my colleague
Cecilia McKelvey and I wrote a book entitled
APL: equal opportunities for all, raising,
issues of language, gender, ethnicity, class
and disability in relation to the accreditation
of prior learning. At UNL I have been involved
with the University's Refugee Assessment
and Guidance Unit working with refugees
and asylum seekers to try and help them
reflect on their previous experience, relate
it to their new lives in the UK and find
a way forward. I have also been involved
in developing and teaching a module entitled
Make Your Experience Count which is open
to any student who wishes to reflect on
their experience, whether or not they may
eventually wish to claim credit for it formally.
I
am at present on a semester's sabbatical
in Cape Town doing some research into the
potential for Recognition of Prior Learning
(RPL) at the University of Cape Town. This
research has involved discussions with staff
and students and visits to programmes which
have been designed to build on and recognise
the experience mature students bring with
them when they return to study. I am also
looking at how the experience of communities
in and around Cape Town is, and might be,
brought in to the University to enrich the
curriculum in a two way process. I have
had a paper published on the work with refugees
in Innovations in Education and Teaching
International (IETI) and one with my colleague
Helen Pokorny in the proceedings of the
last SCUTREA conference on attitudes to
APEL amongst staff and students at UNL.
I
am currently writing a chapter for a new
edition of Portfolio Development and Adult
Learning edited by Alan Mandell and Elana
Michelson. I have an MA in Education from
the Open University and have just started
work on a Doctorate in Education. I propose
to do research into the relationship between
language and experiential learning, working
with students at UNL..

received funding to develop a prior learning
and assessment project at the UBC School of
Social Work and Family Studies. This is a
project that has been most welcomed by the
community, particularly the First Nations'and
multicultrual/immigrant sectors. I have been
involved in developing strategies with community
groups for considering various forms of knowledge
and training that could be laddered into the
social work program at the university level.
This project and involvement has resulted
in validating the experiential learning of
current students and is opening the door for
prospective students. |
