The Association of Colleges (AoC) Beacon Awards shine a light on inspiring and innovative colleges and further education (FE) providers across the UK that go above and beyond for their students, staff and wider communities.
As sponsors for the award for the effective use of digital technology in further education, Jisc is proud to announce Hull College as the 2024 winners in this category.
The college embedded Microsoft Translate technology throughout their classrooms and the wider campuses to support displaced individuals and families arriving from overseas in Hull’s City of Sanctuary to develop language skills and integrate into the community.
So far, the project has supported 1,000 “English for speakers of other languages” (ESOL) learners, including helping identify additional support for learners who were illiterate in their home language, with great results.
