Design Bash

When? Friday, 16th July, 2010

Where? Thames Suite (click here to see its location)

We will once again be following the LAMS International conference, with a Design Bash in Oxford.  The day is sponsored by JISC and CETIS and will be based around the themes explored at last year's Design Bash (see http://blogs.cetis.ac.uk/sheilamacneill/2009/07/09/design-bash-09/). The event is open to anyone with an interest in how to foster interoperability in creating, running, and sharing learning designs.  It is a very hands on day providing participants the opportunity to test their tools and designs with a number of different systems.

We envisage 3 main categories of activity:
* System Interoperability  - how can we more facilitate import/export of designs between systems?
* Sharing designs - how can we most effectively share our designs? How can we export designs to/from systems?
* Describing designs -what are the most useful representations of designs/patterns? Can we begin to translate these representations and produce a runnable version of them?

To find out more, please don't hesitate to get in touch by emailing s.macneill@ strath.ac.uk.

The day will run from 10am - 4pm, and is free of charge (thanks to JISC and CETIS).
