In line with our strategic change programme, we are seeking ways to deliver education to meet the shifting demands of 21st Century learners. Learners, whose needs can differ greatly depending on a variety of social and economic factors. One strand of this is developing the ‘long tail’ of some of our courses; creating on demand, bite-sized bits of training rather than just two or three year degrees. In doing so, we can offer a different kind of education to people outside of the conventional education system, whether they are from non-academic backgrounds, or simply don’t have time for work-based learning.
We are looking to trail this with our new degree in web media. Last week I met the inspirational Helen Hamlyn Trust to discuss this further. The Trust’s mission to support innovative education projects that will effect lasting change and improve quality of life fits perfectly with our innovative teaching and learning ambitions. We will be looking to submit a funding application to the Trust in the near future. This long tail approach will also form a new component of Ravensbourne’s revised web presence, something we will be improving radically over the next 12 – 18 months.
Elsewhere, great news last week from the Privy Council who have approved our proposed name change from Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication to just Ravensbourne. We can now press ahead with our new brand roll out this Spring.
