How does Onefile increase teaching staff engagement?

Most apprenticeships are quite rightly focused on the needs and priorities of learners. But we mustn't forget the vital role that tutors play in optimising learners' experiences, outcomes, and ultimately, life paths.  

If tutors aren't engaged, they won't be able to provide the quality support learners need to achieve. But we can't just assume their goodwill, when many are under pressure - planning curriculums, running reports and delivering personalised support to multiple learners.  

That's why we've designed Onefile to maximise engagement for tutors as well as learners and employers. 

Here's four ways we help to increases tutor engagement: 

Access anytime, anywhere

With Onefile, tutors can access the whole portfolio anytime, anywhere, so they have maximum flexibility on how and when to support learners. It also eliminates the time and effort wasted on lost or missing paper files. 

Feedback and alerts

Every time a learner completes an activity, an alert gets sent to tutors - prompting them to provide feedback, set further work or schedule a review. This automation makes it easier for tutors to manage admin, stay on top of programmes and maintain momentum. 

Remote teaching

We've fully integrated remote working tools like Microsoft Teams into the OneFile system, to streamline work between different systems and applications. This has made it as easy as possible for tutors to efficiently deliver remote teaching and learning sessions and maintain great communication with learners.  

Progress reports and dashboards

With Onefile, tutors can view individual learner dashboards, track progress and see how they are making a difference in terms of driving learner engagement and completion rates. Those successes are almost guaranteed to boost tutors' motivation levels.  

Simplifying complexity

If there's one thing that drives tutors crazy, it's time-wasting admin.  

Onefile removes many of the frustrations from apprenticeship delivery - like excess paperwork, endless spreadsheets, travelling to visits, candidates forgetting their portfolios, and lengthy feedback and admin processes.  

"Onefile makes the whole process much more engaging. It's so convenient and all the criteria is there for tutors to see in a couple of clicks. After the assessment, the IQA can give feedback, which is invaluable, especially for trainee tutors."
