Collection of user needs and analysis of them continued throughout the period. As relatively few applicant replies had been received from the first trawl, a second trawl has been undertaken and this has more than doubled the number of responses to over 200. This extra information will be fed into the analysis and modelling processes. In addition engagement of the required number of HEIs has not been completed, but is being followed up rapidly, so that information can be included in the project before Christmas. We have not been able, to date, to follow up the use of the current UCAS-based system; it is likely that significant information in this area will not be available within the time scales of this project.
A technical model of the existing UCAS feedback system has been produced for comparison with our proposed new one.
We stimulated applicant replies by including a random draw for an iPod Nano, which worked well.
A list of requirements for the new system has been drawn up and was discussed at a team workshop. We are now in a position to commence work on the revised process (Stage 3 of the project).
NOTE: During Sarah Davies’ maternity leave (from 31 Nov 08) Paul Bailey will be our new JISC contact.
