New initiatives
iSpot Local - led by Doug Clow and Jonathan Silvertown (Science) - is a new project that started on 1 March 2011, funded by the JISC eContent Programme 2011. It’s a partnership between the Open University and a range of community organisations, led by Ambios, and will run to 30 September 2011. This project aims to explore the potential of an exciting technology-enhanced learning practice (Bioblitzes) to serve as the key mediating event for the co-creation and crowd-sourcing of digital content related to field biology, by extending an existing web tool (iSpot) and building a strong community partnership network.
