Abstract

The L4All system allows learners to record and share learning pathways through educational offerings, with the aim of facilitating progression from Secondary Education through to Further Education and on to Higher Education.This paper describes the design of the system's facility for searching for "people like me", presents the results of an evaluation session with a group of mature learners, and discusses outcomes arising from this evaluation.
