Forward Look - May 2020
Section Two: Projects Not Started
At the programme meeting on 14 May 2020, the list of non-started projects was reviewed with the resulting recommendation to withdraw five from the programme's list. These are projects that are no longer considered required and/or will not be funded in the foreseeable future. These recommendations have been approved by the programme owner.
Project | Programme Manager's Commentary |
---|---|
House Hub | TBC - not currently planned in 19/20; may be able to use software already available |
Labyrinth | In draft plan for 20/21 |
PathCAL | In draft plan for 20/21 |
MVM102 Innovative Technology review | Withdrawn: This is effectively BAU. If something arises that is of a size that requires a project, it can start as a project using the normal mechanisms. |
MVM106: Student Print Strategy | Withdrawn: Given the changed circumstances, students printing is not a priority. |
MVM109 Technology to support communications with potential students. | Withdrawn: This is being delivered through SEP SRA |
MVM110 Technology to support Open Educational Resources (OER) | Withdrawn: Not a priority in changed circumstances. Proposal included Labyrinth and PathCAL which the programme is addressing in the 20/21 plan. |
MVM113 Technology to support student portfolios | Withdrawn: Nicola Crowley advised that due to changes to how assessments will be completed, Pebblepad can fulfil requirements. If Vets school proceed with an eportfolio project, then a specific new project can be requested at that time. |
