2/13 Overview  A management perspective I’m not so technical, so I asked my PhD students and Research Assistants what I should say at the TENcompetence workshop.  Some issues around SOAs for CVTLEs We have completed a SOA VRE. This is what my PhD students and Research Assistants seem to be worried about. Questions. No answers…  Tell me where I’ve got it wrong I may not have understood what my PhD students and Research Assistants said, and your feedback will certainly help me when I report back.

11/13 CVTLE: Orchestration solution 1+2? “Teaching and learning” control? It’s got serious work to do. And…

12/13 CVTLE: Orchestration solution 1+2? Looks like we need a whole bunch of “Vogten adaptors”
