News on BITE

Hi All,

here is what has happened with BITE since the last post back in March. Since the last post, we have updated all the pages for Health and had some key input from many of the academics in terms of resources that can be embedded onto the BITE pages. The resource has been unveiled to the learning and teaching committee within the university and also to the school of health L&T co-coordinators, both with very positive responses and key feedback.

In terms of project evaluation, myself and the learning technologists have run an open day event for the school of Arts academic staff, for them to pop in and talk about there experiences and ideas with e-learning, and to show them how BITE can help them achieve these ideas in a logical way. Evaluation forms were given out during this day in order to gain there feedback for overall analysis. In the next week, BITE will be previewed to all members of the Academic Librarian team at both campuses and also will be the main key area discussed at The Information Services Research and Innovation Group meeting. BITE will also be featured (along with the sister project E4L) , at the JISC regional support centre group in May of this year.

BITE has also been reviewed by our cluster group (Cluster G). The meeting event was held at the university of northampton, and many of the cluster group members from the relevant universities attended. In terms of feedback there are many areas in BITE which have proved to be invaluable in terms collaboration and dissemination with many of the teams within the cluster group, the most significant being a planned collaborative briefing document with the University of Cumbria.
