Cascade Update
We have just had a steering committee meeting and submitted out interim report to JISC for the Cascade project which has acted as a good chance on reflect on where we have got to thus far.
While this project started out with a huge scope we have managed to focus our activities so that we are now working in 5 main areas:
- Online assignment submission
- VLE support for courses
- Generic content
- Online payment
- Course design
There is considerable overlap between these areas, VLE support for courses is likely to contain online assignment submission and generic content, course design will look at ways to best implement VLE support for courses etc. However this classification definitely helps in terms of communicating our activities to stakeholders as well as focussing our evaluation activities.
There is a brief overview of what we are doing for each area on our website here and we will have a more detailed overivew of each area available very soon.
