Description

BACKGROUND:
Workflow can be defined as set of processes which needs to be accomplished, the set of people or other resources available to perform those processes, and the interactions among them. The workflow concept has evolved from the notion of process in manufacturing and the office. Such processes have existed since industrialization and are products of a search to increase efficiency by concentrating on the routine aspects of work activities. They typically separate work activities into well-defined tasks, roles, rules, and procedures which regulate most of the work in manufacturing and the office. Initially, processes were carried out entirely by humans who manipulated physical objects. With the introduction of information technology, processes in the work place are partially or totally automated by information systems, i.e., computer programs performing tasks and enforcing rules which were previously implemented by humans.

Processes in an organization are categorized into:
• material processes,
• information processes, and
• business processes

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
