The project started in March 2007 and is expected to be completed in December WoLF is a Higher Education (HE) in Further Education (FE) project and seeks to investigate how Pocket PCs support portfolio development by teaching assistants (TAs) on foundation degree courses. WoLF will develop a model for integrating institutional VLEs and personal mobile devices, for the purpose of learning in work-based settings. Research Objectives  Produce a comprehensive literature review on use of PDAs in the work based learning context  Develop a pedagogical model and proof of concept which is transferable to different work based learning context  Develop resources for practitioners for designing reflective learning activities based on work-based learning scenarios  Develop guidelines for integrating the use of pocket PCs into work-based learning setting into institutional VLEs Research Design Approach: Ethnographic based action research Population:30 TAs are expected to participate.
