Supporting DVLE
CETIS support for the JISC DVLE programme was both part of our wider remit as an Innovation Centre and a specific piece of work for JISC. Our support for the programme focused on the sharing and developing common technical approaches to the development and deployment of widgets within institutional virtual learning environments.

The programme consisted of two strands of activity: strand A - concentrating on the development of widgets with three projects running from July - December 2010, and strand B, which has five projects looking at the wider institutional issues around implementing and deploying widgets within existing institutional systems, running from July 2010 until December 2011.
