SAMSON | Shared Architecture for eMployer, Student and Organisational Networking
SAMSON, a JISC-funded project, focussed on providing a joined-up experience for Nottingham postgraduates on work placements. By creating a dynamic web service infrastructure to present a platform for users and service providers to collaborate securely and dynamically through hosted services, it is supporting a cycle of workforce activity which includes processes required by an array of stakeholders. Policies, services and applications can be added according to user need.
By using the user’s ePortfolio as a ‘portal’ to access the system, we explored the impact of eportfolio technology on learning and employability services. For end users, this means the provision of seamless interaction between multiple information systems and technologies.We also trialled emerging data standards, building on development work from earlier University of Nottingham pilot projects using XCRI and LEAP2A.
