Well we've been beavering away even if it doesn't appear so from this blog !
The latest JISC Capital Bid is due in on 21st June and assessing a possible bid theme has taken some time. Also there have been a lot of activities for JISC Emerge.
The very very last of this year's MLA North East / Aimhigher-sponsored Year 11s are evaluating MySpace/Bebo/Facebook. We have done this before a number of times but it's always a successful activity and increases our experience of evaluation. We've been increasing our use of the JISC UIDM development model and evaluation was an area of UIDM that our staff focus groups identified for enhancement.
The last cohort of Redcar College students still didn't like Second Life as an MUVE !!
The Web Messenger Olympics went really well. KoolIM won again but only narrowly from ILoveIM and then Meebo and then eBuddy. In the 'desktop' event radiusIM beat goowy and Mabber
We are VERY pleased that Brian Kelly is likely to be 'officially' inputting more to the MLA North East 'project' that will help libraries to identify the possibilities of Web 2.o and to give them support on explaining the facts and myths on risks.
We're still looking for a partner for some more trial ThinkFree collaborative use

Hi Paul - is there any more content from the IM Olympics you can share?
My colleague is just writing up the Web Messenger Olympics this week so I'll tell her to send you a copy. Tried to e-mail you this reply at your Jabber address but no luck. It won't be a huge document but reflects our quadplay approach whereby any staff training always tries to have a student activity in it (or the other way round). The Year 11s really liked discussing how they evaluate software and their teachers / mentors felt they learned stuff too.

My jabber address is totally busted. Someone broke my server the other day [sad face].
My work email is p.g.wilson@bath[.ac.uk] so feel free to blast anything my way.
