In fact, a continuous process of polishing by many eyes was factored into CORRE. [...]

I love the idea of virtual patients for medical training, and it’s easy to imagine how much time could be saved by ‘repurposing’ these patients. This is very inspiring!

The ReVIP project had a similar experience – their final report is available here http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/elearningcapital/reproduce/revip.aspx, and I’m sure they would be more than happy to give you any further info you were interested in.

I thought your responses to the questions were really helpful, especially your advice on how to manage a blog for NADEOSA.

In the ACEMaths project, the process of requesting release of a UNISA module under a Creative Commons licence and then adapting it to fit a revised set of outcomes decided by the Community of Practice took six months, and the materials were immediately used by lecturers in six institutions. Usually this process takes at least double the amount of time.
