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

eCert progress:

* late, but under control, will be running overlap in September

compare paper:

* eWork use cases are from organisational approach (organisation to organisation)

* Digitary is designed for organisational approach, with issue, manage, and verify all in one organisation.

* eCert use cases are from user centric approach (user to organisation), and the system is designed don’t need to rely on the organization to avoid accessing lots of different systems for eCertificates issued from different organizations; and provide lifetime validation even when the issuing organization is no longer exists.

Nottingham workshop:

* presentation (brief – project aim, requirements, system design)

* system demo – Xin

* no one reply for attending yet – due to conference cost?

others:

* Xin’s coding issue mentioned in email today

* JISC requirement for more detailed budget

* ALT-C workshop next week

* FAM10 in October

* budget for remainder of project

* schedule for remainder of 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.
