Re: [Bodington-developers] UHI developments in Bodington / Sakai

[Paul D. <pau...@ou...>]

I think 4 years was rather more than we had envisaged prior to switchover,
so good news for us there.  But maintaining BB and WebCT seems a trifle
silly given they have merged!  Presumably someone thought it would reduce
the transitions, but in fact anyone in WebCT is likely to have to transition
once before moving to Tetra!

% 
% UHI recently convened an academic review panel to consider the Learning
% and Information Services' VLE strategy. That strategy, which reflects the
% Tetra strategy, was that a framework solution was required to provide
% institutional, enterprise services to staff and students across a range of
% domains, all integrated and increasingly using loosely coupled,
% independent components. A key part of that solution involved the present
% provision of Bodington as the VLE and involved a stepwise transition plan
% to Sakai over the next four years. After taking the evidence, the panel
% deliberated and concluded that the UHI strategy of an e-Framework was the
% correct one:
% 
% "Having reviewed the evidence carefully, taken advice from the external
% members, the Panel will report to the Executive Board at its meeting of 15
% February. The Panel recommends that UHI should freeze the development of
% CLAN; investigate the feasibility of a fast track transfer to SAKAI as
% UHI's VLE; and in the meantime the Panel recommends that UHI continue to
% use as its VLE, Blackboard and Web CT.
