Project Conclusion and Future Planning

The SWANI project concluded its work with the final Stakeholder Workshop/Steering Group meeting yesterday. The meeting reviewed the work of the project and noted that all of the key objectives had been achieved and outcomes delivered. It recieved the draft project report and discussed the content. Some minor amendments were made, principally the updating of the number of WBL forms now available in digitised form on the Joomla platform, and the report was then approved for submission to JISC.

The follow on work, dissemination and benefits realisation activities were discussed. It was agreed that a six month period of implementation, testing and evaluation would begin in January 2012, in parallel with the existing paper based WBL administration processes. The outcomes of that evaluation would then be discussed with all the WBL partners, with a view to full implementation thereafter. It was agreed that the successful outcome of the project would be disseminated through appropriate channels in 2012 and this would be led by Prof Toole who would identify and prepare for suitable conference presentation opportunities in the first half of the year. The possibility of organising a Webinar was also discussed.

The meeting concluded by thanking all of the stakeholders for their contribution and commended, in particular, the work of the technical team who created the digitised version of the WBL management and administration system.
