The teacher will select the appropriate content for the learner to go alongside the marks and written oraudio feedback to the learner. This content is pulled in from existing sources, like the VLE, and is personalised to the learners needs,but saves time for the teacher in having to search for the content.

This will reduce the likelihood of learners who requireadditional support remaining undiagnosed, resulting in a more proactive approach to ALN.* The system will be bilingual using a language translation module.The project is being supported through the Welsh Government Digital 2030 capital grant funding. The project needs to be deliveredby May 2020.The College is inviting initial interested suppliers to register their expression of interest with a view to launching a formal invitationto tender process in January 2020.
