ChangeLog  
This page is for iteratively documenting the changes of themes as they emerge in jiscEXPO projects so that an overall communication document for stakeholders can be produced.

Programme Synthesis Activity Overview

This programme activity is part of the overall evaluation and communication strategy for telling the world about the jiscEXPO projects and what they have achieved.

People Involved:

  • Programme Manager (PM)
  • Synthesis Liaison (SL)
  • Senior Managers (SM) and their Teams (SMTs)
  • Significant sector stakeholders

The aim of this "synthesis" work is to produce two synthesis artefacts (i.e. reports for specific audiences): a.) an evaluation artefact for Senior Management that will help inform where with regards to strategic funding, and b.) a dissemination artefact that can be delivered to significant sector stakeholders both in the UK and Abroad that will inform them of the changes that have occurred across all projects and why they should join in on these changes.

Process:

  1. Baseline status of sector established via Project Plan posts and Site Visit
  2. The ChangeLog is updated daily by the SL based upon reading project posts and noting down themes as they emerge.
    • SL writes a 'Emergent patterns' synthesis post once a month <- PM delivers reports to jiscEXPO projects and SMs.
    • SL comments on each project blog post to let project know it has been read, also cross-pollinating blog posts by providing cross-links to other blogs.
  3. At end of programme, change log along with posts are reviewed by PM and SL to decide what communication/evaluation techniques to use.
    • SL supports PM in commissioning a evaluation/communications consultant to produce report/publication for specified audiences.

Change Log

The change log for how and when projects change are listed below.

I've registered a blog to share the synthesis liaison work I'll be doing over the next 6 months: http://lmsmash.blogspot.com/ ... just need to start adding content now! #lmsmash #jisclms

I've written my first blog post: http://lmsmash.blogspot.com/2010/08/je-suis-une-synthesiser.html ... hoping that I haven't misrepresented the programme or my role (mild case of performance anxiety!) - need to do a bit of tidying up and add google analytics before I start shouting about it. Note to self - ask Dave F about analytics.

Owen Stephens (@ostephens on twitter) is interested in which #jisclms projects are planning to use Juice (http://twitter.com/ostephens/statuses/21057016522) so I'm going to let him know about each project as I spot a mention of Juice on their blogs - there doesn't seem to be any mention of that on this code site so far
