First Development and Implementation Wider Project Meeting October 22, 2009
Posted by vickimcgarvey in : Comms , trackbackWe had our first Development and Implementation wider meeting this morning. It was well attended and we had representatives from nearly every School, reps from professional serivces and our Centre for Effecitve Learning in Science http://www.ntu.ac.uk/cels/.
At the meeting I asked colleagues to share their interests with regards content sharing. Sarah Horrigan our Communications Workpackage Lead provided an overview of our Blog and WIKI and Trevor Pull who is part of the project team and the Development and Implementation Workpackage provided an overview of the LOR system and roles and permissions.
It was a lively meeting and those attending had lots of questions about the issues associated with sharing content in the University, mainly organisational e.g. who has access to learning objects in the School LOR? Can colleagues provide comments on learning objects – and enhance the metadata in relation to observations of use? Who will be the School LOR coordinator? These questions/observations will go in the WIKI next week. We also had a comment about the terminology and the language we are using which I think is a hint that we need to reflect on our language and facilitate staff engagement with the dialogue of the open educational community. One colleauge did comment that the word Open needs unpacking as individuals will have different definitions of this.
I want these meetings to be informal, providing colleaugues with an opportunity to openly comment on the LOR and associated implementation issues and I think this was happening. I have now offered the opportunity for those that attended to contact me if they would like more detail or guidance on any of the issues that were raised today.
