Looking forward to ALT-C

September 08, 2008

ALT-C at Leeds promises to be, technically, the most interesting ever. It is good to see ALT pushing the boat out: Crowd Vine and Elluminate are starting to extend the conference into virtual spaces and for the first time there is a declared fringe F-ALT. ALT-C has always attracted radical learners and teachers and has been one place in ...

Staff Development Festival

August 29, 2008

Well, I’ve set my stall.  Almost.  A couple of Innovation North tablecloths, posters, leaflets and my brand new recoil stand.  Adjacent to the University Research Office for synergy.  It’s missing something though, je ne sais qua…it needs someone with a bit more artistic flair than I… One activity that I intend to carry out during the Festival is ad ...

So far so good. The next ...

Getting there, slowly but surely

August 20, 2008

The Repository is really starting to take shape; the search interface has now been installed on a development server (as discussed previously, we are using the IRISS SRU client) and is returning very satisfying results on my test content. Now we can start adding the extra functionality (browse, advanced search) - well Mike T can at ...
