The document outlines the plans and activities of the JISC Create Community Resources project. It will add value by facilitating community interactions and sharing between projects, the programme, and the wider educational community. It will do this through a programme of activities supported by appropriate technologies. The project aims to foster sustainable development, continuous transformation in institutions, and growth of social capital by bridging connections within and between organizations. The Create team will organize events to determine needs, harvest synthesis themes, facilitate community formation and dissemination of knowledge. They will support projects through clusters, seminars, workshops and online conferences and spaces.

JISC Create Community Resources, Assets and Technology for Education Presentation to selection panel 19 September 2008
Outline Added value Sustainable development Continuous transformation Social capital growth Team Plans & Activities Technology Questions
Create will add value by facilitating community interactions to promote peer sharing between the projects, between the projects and the programme and between the projects and the wider educational community through a programme of activities supported by appropriate technologies through bringing together and synthesising emerging project experiences by a multi-skilled, experienced and adaptable team in association with the programme leadership and stakeholders as appropriate, e.g. JISC advisory and innovation support services HEA subject centres institutional leadership
Sustainable development Sustainable “project support” necessarily entails community formation Community is essential to synthesis, in bringing the projects and their experiences together Create is based on and contributes to the ongoing evolution of a wider community-development approach to programme support, drawing lessons from, e.g.: E learning support and synthesis Users & Innovation, Emerge
Continuous transformation Foster institutional centres of innovation centres of expertise that can support the the sector S how that institutions need to explore the boundaries of technology o f learning, teaching and admin practices a nd their own institutional boundaries (shared services, HE in FE, distributed learning centres, etc) in order to survive and to develop.
Social capital growth “ cross departmental and cross domain” Bonding Traditional practice exhibits strong bonding capital. People identify and support one another in established local contexts Boundary spanning is the preserve of a few and takes place in fairly rigid structures Bridging Emergent, innovative practice encourages & builds on strong local bonding to enable greater numbers of people to reach out across the boundaries, expanding their personal spans of control and extending their experience to the wider sector. between institutions and/ or projects between senior management and project teams within institutions

Activities The team will organise events and activities with the aim of Determining unique needs of Institutional Innovation Programme Early harvesting of synthesis information themes shared technologies common challenges related programmes and projects Supporting projects to consider benefits early on in the project cycle Facilitating community formation and development;  Facilitating dissemination, knowledge sharing and benefits realisation

Work packages, Phase 1 Inception Launch Phase 2 Projects Sept 08 – Jan 09 Synthesis and Benefits Realisation of Institutional Exemplar Projects Community Development and Support Synthesis and discovery Web space and Presentation Evaluation
Inception plan Programme Start-up Early meeting with JISC to agree plans, roles, responsibilities set dates for events and programme activities, critical friends Review project proposals to identify themes, drivers, audiences and outputs Programme launch event Online community start-up activities Projects set-up profiles, feeds and links in support web site

Synthesis and Benefits Realisation of Institutional Exemplar Projects Collation and analysis via online seminars and interviews Story gathering Sense making Make data available through website Outputs synthesis look at opportunities for further BR Benefits realisation activities
Community Development and Support Biannual blended online conference Project-led, Create-facilitated cluster meetings Synthesis seminars Newsreel activities Informal social gatherings using community spaces such as Second Life Supporting projects to form and grow satellite communities of practice that bring in existing stakeholder audience
Synthesis and discovery of phase 2 projects Collate outputs from community development and support activities. Analyse these in context of the institutional exemplars (Phase 1 projects). Use analysis to frame synthesis seminars and ongoing community development activities Produce and support ongoing development of synthesis outputs
Open services portfolio: different environments working under the same design framework SSO between components; clicking in Moodle, CMS, Elluminate, etc will maintain the same design, allocating the main content to the left and control blocks to the right side.
Questions for the panel Have dates/venues been set for programme inception meeting(s) Has the list of funded projects been finalised? How many? Does the panel still believe the 4 areas of institutional ICT concern are an appropriate conceptual structure? Will there be a separate evaluation (formative ongoing or summative at end) and if so how will it relate to the support project What is the plan for Benefits Realisation funding to projects Widening engagement? How open does the panel conceive the community?  Outward Inward Upward  If we are to reach the wider sector the way the call stresses, then we would have thought the community needs to be fairly open
