LMI-Learning is being developed by the Institute for Employment Research , University of Warwick, together with KnowNet. Financial support has come from the Sector Skills Development Agency.

The Challenges

This is a new resource and the hope is it will continue to evolve and develop. The materials provided try to cater for a breadth of practitioners each with differing backgrounds, levels of experience, professional contexts, needs and time available to explore the resource. Here you can find out more about the challenges encountered during the developmental process and read a reflective account of the evolution of this LMI module project.

At the outset, the intention has been not to reproduce more Labour Market Information as it is not accessing information that is the problem it is learning how to use it.  Thus the primary focus has been to provide signposting, questions and interactive tools to encourage reflection and engagement with materials.

As with any new project there are specific challenges - the main ones identified to date for this module are:

  • How to provide content that caters for different levels of experience and expertise?
  • How to facilitate interaction with the site content that caters for a diverse user group?
  • What about different learning styles and time constraints for learning
  • How to create a free-standing module that users can manage without tutor inputFacilitating a learner – led experience.   The Personalised Learning Space

If you want to know more about the developmental process you are welcome to view 'Lucy's Blog' which is a reflective account of the work as it progresed demonstrating both blogging technology and giving an honest account of how the module developed.
