Horses for courses I suppose. If you can't see what you want on the menu (ModCAT)we'll fashion something to your own design (IDIBL). Actually, both approaches are in one sense 'supply-led' in that the HEI offers a framework of some kind and the learner 'fits in' with it. However some learners will clearly 'demand' a more personalised experience. Moving to a much more 'demand-led' approach for employers (who are becoming inceasingly important funders in all of this)requires us to take their 'in-company' training and accredit it. And quickly. And inexpensively. A plurality of approaches is what we need, I guess. Interesting contrast. Horses for courses I suppose.
