But for you to phone me would probably cost as much as your project would receive in funding if successful! So unless it is ... http://contented.jiscinvolve.org/2007/11/28/one-week-to-go/ We’re not just looking in this call for the reuse of RLOs in the narrowest sense - rather you could be reusing anything from a single image or a page of text, right up to an entire online activity or assessment. We do appreciate the current difficulties with interoperability of ... http://contented.jiscinvolve.org/2007/11/13/no-need-to-object/ Does content specially commissioned by the lead institution count as "external content"?

This has the unfortunate side effect of excluding the following groups: FECs not delivering HE anyone funded by the ... http://contented.jiscinvolve.org/2007/10/17/the-exciting-world-of-eligibility/ The JISC Circular (4/07) has now been published, so we expect to be receiving questions and queries starting from about now. Please feel free to leave queries as comments on this blog (which will be updated to answer them) and to see the supporting materials (so far we have a ... http://contented.jiscinvolve.org/2007/10/16/reproduce-is-now-live/ Our first questions regarding this call all started with the fragment above. And ended there, as we had to stop and correct a major misconception. This call is not about you repurposing your own content. This is about bringing content in from outside the institution, and using it to revamp one ... http://contented.jiscinvolve.org/2007/10/12/weve-got-all-this-lovely-content-wed-like-to-repurpose/
