For the staff evaluations – HMPPS had given the iPads to the staff team, with the guides for using the Zappar app and process, with a range of the AR resources to trial
- Staff and student guides
- Sample AR resources
- Staff were also given evaluation forms for the impact assessment with a series of questions regarding AR, the process, the resources, use and comments (evaluation form)
- The evaluation feedback could be written or electronically captured
- Once all feedback had been collated, a chart and feedback comments were summarised for a feedback report.
Output 6: Work Package for Security:
Richard detailed that for the project, our project output guides, and recommended approach has been completed, we are just awaiting support from Government security with an agreement to our recommendations and/or amended approach to take so that potentially our resources and devices can be used in the prison institutions for learners.
An interesting article was circulated ‘Give prisoners laptops and tablets in their cells to access education’. The Commons Education Select Committee has been told that prisoners are learning with ‘both hands tied behind their back’ due to a lack of digital access. We hope that this will assist in the digital education change that everyone is expecting!
