Development & Implementation Meeting Update October 8, 2009
Posted by vickimcgarvey in : Comms, D&I , trackbackI thought it would be useful to give a quick overview of the “Development and Implementation” meetings just to keep you all up-to-date with the main discussions that are taking place and plans for activities. If you want more information have a look at the action points in the share wiki on the Actions Register Page.
Pilots:
- Trevor Pull Schools of Arts and Humanities provided an overview of the LOR to Jon Fletcher Academic Liaison Librarian
- Jon is putting information literacy content for the School of Science and Technology in the LOR and Trevor has put a health safety guide in the the Arts and Humanities School LOR
- It was mentioned that student support documentation would be useful in the LOR as well as staff development material
Copyright:
- We are going to review the Copyright Checklist that we put together for roll out of our VLE
Workshop
- We have a commitment to run a workshop before Christmas to provide an overview of the LOR and discuss sharing content we want do one at each University campus – which means 3. I will be setting up a meeting to discuss this.
- In preparation we are going to identify other repositories of learning content
Metadata
- University has an eLearning User Forum and somebody mentioned yesterday that it would be useful to browse on Programme/Module codes as this gives an indication of subject and level. We had a discussion on where it would best sit e.g. taxonomy field we thought it would be useful to look at the possibility of autopopulating from a data source. We will discuss this further with our colleagues at D2L, Yvonne and Ian.
Making content publicly available
- We discussed options for making content available outside of LOR e.g. IRep and JORUM and this will be investigated more fully as part of the implementation as it is an identified requirement.
Development and Implementation Wider Group
- The next D & I meeting will include academic and service reps from across NTU. We want to make the formats of these meeting thematic with an update at the beginning. The first one will provide an overview the LORs and roles and permissions.
I would be more than happy to receive any comments on the above and as I said at the beginning more details can be found in the WIKI.

Just to update this section of the D&I workstream: I hope to put some more content into the LOR this week.
