‘Follow-on’ Survey results -up to 12 months after course
• Longer term feedback
• Match of course to expectations – 72%
• Generally considered themselves inexperienced before course
• Gaining experience through the course ~ 81%
• Improvement in work ~ 57%
(n = 23)

Materials archive
• Improving the interface– De-centralized metadata input– Improved version control – full metadata histories– Better content control– Personalisation services– authorisation
• Using “of the shelf” components, minimal development• Demonstrated at Pisa• Migrating to production server for user evaluation (NA3, other
projects)– Run in parallel with existing system to end of project.– Commitment to sustaining already built into other projects.
• Editorial Task Force to identify “exemplar” courses.• Supporting training activities in NA3, new VOs, related projects,
externally.• Already cooperating with DILIGENT

Issues
• Scale– Support geographically diverse groups– Many different knowledge domains– Breadth of knowledge required
• Quality– Maintain and encourage a ‘quality culture’
• Rate of change– New middleware features– New VOs– Changing needs of domains– New projects– Changes in national grid provision
