eCert Project

Here are the discussed topics from today’s eCert project monthly meeting.

* We are going to write a paper to compare the difference between the eCert and the Digitary.   It turns up that August will be a good time to get together for this, after we checked our available timetables and the eCert project progress.

* We have contacted Owen from the eWork project, had a brief idea of its system design from the information provided, and Lisha is going to meet him at the London Learning Forum on the 5^th July.

* We have prepared the presentation and planed the schedule for the Toronto workshop.

* We are got accepted for the ALT-C national conference at Nottingham in September.  Need to register! – Presenters’ booking deadline 28^th June

* We have met Alex from eFolio. 

• Alex has showed Lisha the development part of the eFolio system, which have no links provided through the interface yet.   It can has the user’s skills and evidence files reviewed/confirmed by a selected member within the institution.   This is very close to eCert where the qualifications and evidence files need to be verified

• Lisha has showed Alex the design of how eCert can work within the eFolio.  Alex thinks that it could be achieved with a bit of changes, but he can’t do much for now, until the eCert demo has been set up.
   

* Tao, our project assistant, is leaving at the end of June.  We are now in the process of getting a replacement.

* We will have Kieren for the mobile IDs project as well as Oliver.
