Start small.
Learn what matters.
We are developing the first version of BRDGthegap and exploring focused pilots with students, educators and employers. Help us shape an experience worth taking part in.
A working demonstration.
Pilots being explored.
Our interactive demo uses fictional people, companies and challenges. It shows the individual and employer journeys we are developing. Pilot participation, partners and arrangements still need to be agreed.
Make the experience
clear from both sides.
We are bringing together practical challenges, submissions, productivity profiles and human review into one connected journey.
The current focus is the detail: understandable briefs, proportionate effort, useful feedback, clear sharing choices and a profile that helps someone explain their contribution.
The demo gives people something concrete to explore and question. Real pilot feedback will help us decide what to improve next.
A small group.
A clear purpose.
We would shape each pilot with the people responsible for it. A sensible starting point could include:
Agree the question and the group.
Bring a small, voluntary group together around a focused learning question. Confirm who is taking part, the support needed and the responsibilities of each organisation.
Use a proportionate challenge.
Set a clearly scoped task with supplied context, a realistic effort expectation and visible criteria. Use fictional material or an appropriately scoped brief with agreed permissions.
Make, explain and review.
Participants produce work and describe their choices. Human reviewers give feedback against the task criteria. Everyone can comment on the experience.
Learn and decide what to change.
Look at the experience, the effort involved and the usefulness of the evidence. Agree which findings matter and what the next version needs to address.
What would make
this useful?
Does the brief make sense?
Can participants explain what is being asked, what to submit and how their work will be reviewed?
Is the effort worthwhile?
How much time and support does the task take? Does the experience feel proportionate and fair?
Can people explain more?
Does the profile help participants show their contribution, decisions and learning in their own words?
Does the evidence help reviewers?
What can a reviewer understand from the work? Which questions does it make possible, and what remains unclear?
Agree the details
that matter.
Participation should be voluntary. The task, review process, information handling and use of the work should be explained in advance. Any relevant institutional approvals and named responsibilities need to be in place.
A pilot is a chance to learn. Its scope, success measures and follow-up should be clear to everyone involved.
