A Loughborough College collaboration with Pearson has been praised by the UK’s largest qualification awarding organisation.
Ashwin Dobariya, lecturer in degree-level Engineering at the College, was invited by Pearson to work with their Higher Education Qualifications Digital Team to develop HNC Engineering online content. His input will help students and exam centres across the country in the move towards new course requirements. In fact, the organisation has been so impressed with Ashwin’s contribution that he has been invited to support other colleges in making the transition.
“Ashwin’s insights, based on his experience of delivering this qualification and passion for online learning, have been invaluable,” said Manjuri Pujari, Higher Nationals Online Product Manager at Pearson.
Loughborough College Higher Education Engineering, Creative and Professional Qualifications curriculum manager Daniel Apparicio added: “Our students and team have benefited from Ashwin’s expertise and his being asked to support this process by Pearson is a recognition of the work he has done.
“We’ve been growing our online and blended resources for more than two years and this has now become central as we support our students through these challenging times through online live lectures, lecture recordings and virtual one to one sessions.
“Loughborough College HE Engineering department is one of the UK’s leading vocational training centres and with our growing online provision, our apprentices in engineering are able to benefit from a wealth of lecturing experience and knowledge. We are pleased we could support Higher Nationals and Pearson Online in the development of these resources.”
