e-ILPs
Challenges and opportunities for young people’s personal
progression planning.
Individual Learning plans (ILPs) are a progression tool
ILPs are an essential component:• Personalised Learning• Personal Development Curriculum• Increased choice and flexibility in learning 14-19
– Diplomas, KS4 Apprenticeships..• Intended to be introduced in year 9 to support
(and not limit) young people’s choices• It is intended to be reviewed annually, reflecting
the learner’s development and aspirations
What should an ILP do?• record young people’s plans, progress, experiences and
achievements by age 14 and continuously after
• identify personal choices – including entitlement subjects, work-related options, enrichment activities and ideas for work experience
• establish broad learning and career goals for the 14-19 phase and support the continuous monitoring and review of progress towards them throughout the phase
• support smooth transitions by facilitating effective data and information sharing 14-19.

Challenges
• Does the learner understand why they have an ILP?
• Is there a CE/IAG process in place in the curriculum to enable the learner to create and maintain an informed ILP?
• Is it ‘owned’ by senior management, teaching and support staff and part of the personalised learning process – is there training in place?
More challenges.
• How does the ILP support transition? • Can it be shared across partners?
• Does it go with the learner?
• Does the learner ‘own’ it and can they add to it?
• Is there an agreed format across partners that is understood and accepted by all?
e-ILP benefitsIf web-enabled:
• Can be integrated as part of electronic delivery of CE/IAG resources
• Can be accessed and shared across student support network in schools and partners
• Can go with the learner
• Can be easily updated
• Can be accessed any where and anytime
e-ILP challenges
• Is it part of a wider program such as an e-portfolio or does it just stand alone?
• Costs – development; off the shelf vs. bespoke
• Integration and interoperability – with own systems/VLEs and with other institutions
• Access
Discussion pointsExamples of e-ILPs – three different approaches:• Stand-alone: https://ilp.my-iplan.com
• As part of progression planning e-portfolio:www.passportfolio.comhttp://webfolio.manchester14-19.co.uk/
• As part of an integrated online progression resource: http://www.myprogressfile.com
• Integrated into a website:http://www.planitplus.net/

My iPlan
Strengths• Tailor-made e-ILP• Linked to assessment
and validation• Enables target-setting
and tracking• Allows student to choose
their ‘circle of support’• Added functionality : dual
log-ins• Can produce reports
Challenges• Licensed product so
linked to institution or purchasing authority – cost implications
• Not owned by the learner so will not have access in non-My iPlan institutions
• Will learner be able to take ‘end products’ with them in a variety of formats?

Strengths• Tried and tested
resources based on ProgressFile materials
• Supported by CE/IAG process
• Interactive resources and quizzes within it
• Fully exportable content
Challenges• Cost per institution/area
based on pupil numbers• Remains with the
institution/LA area• Not ‘owned’ by the
student• Some quizzes and
activities look very wordy and detailed – could be off-putting
‘Home grown’ www.passportfolio.com
• Decision making (Where you are now,
what you want from your future)
• Self development (Interactive self
review of skills, qualities and strengths)
• Researching information/options
(Links to websites such as MyChoiceNotts,
Progression Routes, Careers Software etc.)
• Planning for change (Setting own goals
and targets, making applications)
The ILP is one part of an integrated web-based progression planning process

Individual Learning Plan
Strengths
• Able to create specific content, including quizzes and activities
• Able to add local information and weblinks
• Able to design the CE/IAG process into it
• Able to tailor it to different audiences (lower literacy/SEN) as part of the development process
• Able to link and integrate into other web-based resources e.g. online application form
Challenges
• Can be expensive – development costs and in terms of staff time for content and project management and roll-out
• Ongoing technical support
• Needs longer-term investment to develop and maintain
Passportfolio
Off the peg e-portfolio…http://webfolio.manchester14-19.co.uk/
A good idea but…Strengths
• Ready-made, off the shelf so less development work/project management
• Design can be tailored to a certain extent (cost involved)
• Can be integrated as part of a wider CE/IAG process
Challenges
• Basic e-portfolios do not have ready-made content that supports CE/IAG, this work would still need to be done
• Licence costs per learner• One-size fits all• Functionality – is it fit for
purpose and do all the components work?
• Hard to differentiate the ILP component
A unified service: Scottish careers/learning portal: http://www.planitplus.net/
PlanIT e-portfolio
PlanIT
Strengths
• Investment by the Scottish Executive downwards
• A unified, all-age facility with a coherent message
• Years of expertise and development
Challenges
• Integration into the education system
• Continued funding and development
• The whole portfolio is an ILP but can it be shared? Is there a recognisable ‘end product’
