Developing Blended Learning Tools for NVQ Assessors – case studies
These case studies are a series written for practitioners in work-based learning, particularly NVQ assessors, who may be working with learners who have a learning difficulty, disability or difference.

Each case study provides examples of approaches used to support learners with learning difficulties and disabilities in work-based learning, including information about learning programmes, how the provider has supported the learner effectively and the impact of the support.

Working with learners who have a learning difficulty or disability – briefing sheets
These briefing sheets are a series that were developed by NIACE on behalf of the DIUS to support work-based learning practitioners when they are working with learners who have a learning difficulty or disability.

Each briefing sheet is designed to offer a brief explanation of a learning difficulty or disability, indicate how it may affect learning in the workplace, and offer some practical suggestions for practitioners about how they may support learners alongside a case study.

Fast Facts

For learners in the workplace who don’t have access to a dictionary, calculator or PC spell-checker, NIACE has produced a series of booklets to equip employees with the literacy and numeracy support needed for their jobs. Designed to fit into a top pocket, Fast Facts are an ideal aid for people who are not desk-based.
