Issues

The project is amber, as, following discussions with College representatives, the recommendation is to defer deployment to later in June.

The project is working through some current topics; none of which are expected to delay deployment:

• There are some current connection issues with Pebblepad which affect the set up of groups to individual workspaces; it is anticipated that these will be resolved prior to, or shortly after deployment. A manual alternative is available.
• The new version has some accessibility issues; following discussion with the disability officer, the current approach is agreed. An Equality Impact Assessment is being completed.
• Pebblepad confirmed "Turn It In" functionality will not be included in July release. This impacts schools which submit assessments via Pebblepad. The schools have indicated that they will either (a) seek an alternative service or (b) identify manual alternatives.
• Following discussion with the Project Sponsor and Fraser Muir, it has been agreed that the new upgrade should be deployed in later June.
