Today a group of staff members from different teaching and support areas within the College gathered to discuss ideas for the Get Ahead: Stay Ahead website. This was the first meeting of this particular group and the aims were to:
- give an outline and objectives of the Get Ahead: Stay Ahead project
- brainstorm content ideas
- gain an introduction to the Xerte software which will be used to design the interactive materials.
There was a real buzz about the meeting and there lots of great ideas flying about. But importantly, it was a chance to identify the parameters of this particular project and make clear what would be achieveable by our April go-live deadline.
Everyone was impressed by how simple the Xerte software material is to create and use, and we all felt inspired to get cracking. We decided to reconvene in a month's time, each having prepared a Xerte file to show to the group.
A great start!
