We held our inaugural full team meeting today. It’s very exciting to be part of a strong team with such a broad range of skills and working contexts, all of us focussed on achieving something of value and importance to our University and the sector.

We reiterated our key aims, objectives and rationale and then reached broad agreement on roles and responsibilities.

We agreed on the use of SharePoint for version control with GoogleDocs for co-authoring of early drafts. We’ll use Office Communicator for synchronous chat and the Twitter tags #jiscassess and #jiscebeam, along with this blog for wider dissemination.

The next step is attendance at the JISC launch of programme event on 5th of October, which we anticipate will be enormously helpful as we continue to develop a more detailed project plan and evaluation strategy.
