Interview with Vicki McGarvey, Project Manager October 14, 2009
Posted by sarahhorrigan in : Comms, Podcast , add a commentEarly on in the SHARE Project I spoke to Vicki McGarvey (Project Manager / Development and Implementation Work Package lead) to get a sense of what she hoped would come from the project as well as trying to see the role of the group and understand her work package’s aims / outputs. In this Podcast, Vicki discusses the close working relationship the group has with other work packages and some of the challenges which they face at the start of the 2 year long SHARE project. She also discusses the benefits of the Learning Object Repository as well as considering cultural change and staff engagement, giving a really interesting insight into the function and aims of the largest of the SHARE work packages!
We’ll be talking to Vicki later on in the project to see how things have since developed and look forward to tracking the progress of the Development and Implementation group via these Podcasts.

Since putting our first podcast onto the site last week, we have also taken the step of submitting our Podcast feed to iTunes. We were notified last week that our Podcasts have been accepted and as we add to our site, you will be able to search iTunes for NTUSHARE and you’ll find us! If you want to go direct to our Podcasts on iTunes, then you can do that as well.
What’s the benefit of getting our Podcasts on iTunes? Well, without any additional work on our part, we now have a wider means for disseminate our project Podcasts. They’re searchable, they’re easily available for download, they can be subscribed to for free via the iTunes store and they become a rich, mobile resource for us all.
Should you want to bypass iTunes and subscribe to our Podcasts using another RSS aggregator such as Google Reader… then feel free to use http://www.ntushare.org/feed/podcast/ . Should you want to know more about feeds, subscribing, aggregation and all that sort of thing… if you’re able to make the next D&I meeting on October 22nd between 9 and 10 am… then I’ll be giving a short, plain English overview of it all.
Now we just need to get producing those Podcasts!

Professor Sue McKnight, Director of Libraries and Knowledge Resources
Early on in the SHARE project, the Communications Work Package group decided that we would interview some of the key people in the SHARE project. We felt it would help set the scene, be a great record of the project and be a useful way to communicate the different views of the project from various members of the Project Team.
One of the first people I spoke to was Professor Sue McKnight, who is the Project Owner for the SHARE project. The following is the recording of the interview I had with Sue back in July. In it, Sue discusses the background to the project, some of her hopes for the outcomes of SHARE and some of the issues surrounding the cultural change which is needed for the successful use of the learning object repository.
This is the first in our series of SHARE podcasts and we hope that you enjoy it! Click on the play arrow to start listening…
