1. UKLeaP: The Nottingham Experience Carl Ebrey

2. Late 2003 – Early 2004 UKLeaP data transfer between ePARs and LUSID Identified issues with UKLIP regarding differentiating items of data Also identified the value of Application Profiles

3. The University of Nottingham created a number of documents revolving around UKLeaP Unique Learner Number proposal Real world applications of UKLeaP Mid – Late 2004

4. Early 2005 UKLeaP data transfer from City of Nottingham Passport to ePARs Transferred a limited dataset – Transferring an extended dataset would have been complicated because of the way data was collected.

5. Mid – Late 2005 Provided consultation with UCAS for using UKLeaP for application data Identified a number of UCAS-specific fields which were not pertinent to PDP Advised UCAS to create a bespoke XML format which contains a learnerinformation node UKLeaP is due to be contained in the data feeds sent to universities in 2006

6. Late 2005 UoN paired with Nuventive to demonstrate UKLeaP in action at the EIfEL ePortfolio 2005 conference

7. Right Now Looking at the FE applications process Colleges in Nottingham have agreed upon a common application form This can [mostly] be represented as UKLeaP Each college will host an applications web service College applications will be made by completing the application form on the City of Nottingham Passport site

8. Looking Ahead UKLeaP can be used in the HE applications process UoN are currently putting together a design document

9. UKLeaP in HE Universities host a number of web services PDP systems connect to these services The learner responds to prompts The responses are sent to the university Initial assessment is done The learner receives feedback on his/her application

11. Learning from UKLeaP Granularity Application Profiles Take care There are still important decisions to be made
