Andrew met with Yvonne, Seb and Marcus via Skype to review progress and plans for system development.
The new “preview” system with media player has recently been incorporated. A facility to promote collaboration in which people will be able to edit each other’s resources is to be introduced in the next week or two. The new EdShare version with sustainable software and EPrints packages will be launched in the next week or two and this will replace our system, hosted at Southampton; installation on Worcester servers would then follow later in the Spring. The revised “secret url” and trimmed down access options will be done in the next week. Problems with the “collections” facility might be a bug – Seb and Marcus would investigate this for us.
Worcester will be appointing a Learning Technologist next week (interviews on 26th January) so that the repository will be fully funtional with major features in place ready for the planned work with tutors to build the resource collection.
It was suggested that a further Skype meeting be held in a week’s time.
