• A hosting and/or searching services for learning designs and exemplars for the Programme;

• Activities to support sharing and re-use of learning designs and exemplars;

• A sustainability strategy for the Programme;

• A final report that identifies the rationale and requirements for a learning design exchange/hosting service for the UK post-16 and higher education sectors

Providing hosting and searching services for sharing and re-use of learning designs and sequences:

CETIS has developed a number of websites to support JISC and other

programmes and projects, including:

• The CETIS site (www.cetis.ac.uk) • The eLearning Framework site (www.elframework.org) • The eLearning Focus site (www.elearning.ac.uk) • The UNFOLD site (www.unfold-project.org)

• Want to work with this community to develop useable, accessible service for sharing designs and sequences.

Key aspects of any system will be (a) customisability and (b) support for standards

Event ideas

• Technical - focusing on development & implementation issues

• Pedagogical - focusing on wider pedagogical implications

• Wider community - sharing outcomes/experiences outside this project -e.g. LAMS, 10 Competence etc.

• Mix of f2f and online meetings
