Introduction

WikiPath Community of Practice

The WikiPath Community of Practice was set up in July 2007 following funding from the HEA Centre for Medicine, Veterinary medicine and Dentistry and from JISC (via the HEA). This wiki was initiated at the first workshop held on the 31st July 2007.

Workplan

Work with veterinary schools to discover what tools are in use and what aspects of CLIVE and VetSchools, supplemented by other technologies, would be the most use to them. The main focus in this phase will be on pathology resources but other areas identified will be logged as target areas for future projects; April – May 2007

Analyse the tools available to assess where JISC services ‘add value’ and can be integrated meaningfully for staff and students; June – Sept 2007
