I am very pleased though that there is an initiative to take forward the principles of the eFramework and try to make it more accessible to the wider community – at present it clearly is problematic for many of us to use and it is good that this is recognised and being addressed. So I’m very happy for our projects to be guinea pigs in working through these issues – as a great believer in making it easier to share practice effectively I’ll be interested in seeing how this progresses.

I certainly agree with Janet that – if it works – the Innovation Base will be a valuable resource. (If I was still being negative, I might think that a sledgehammer is being used to crack a nut.) For now, I will content myself with saying … thanks (genuinely) for all the comments … and I will reflect on my original posting in the light of them. Oh, and I applaud the JISC/Emerge communities for taking the technology forward in innovative and interesting ways. As I said in the earlier post, time will tell if the approach used is appropriate – but I recognise the need to move onwards.
