The EMFFE Project

This chapter looks at where this ambition started with the national UK project called the E-Maturity Framework for Further Education (EMFFE). This project ran for 18 months with a brief to design an e-learning ready institutional model that UK, English, Further Education Colleges and other providers of post-compulsory education could adopt, both individually and as a sector working as adaptive institutions across collaborative networks. This chapter examines in detail the elements that make up this development framework for vocational colleges and post-compulsory education providers (provided in full in the Appendix) from which the authors developed the idea of organizational architectures of participation, which drives this book.
