A quick note. The Emerge project was successful 
in our bid to the JISC to support the Users and Innovation strand of the Capital Programme.
The project is a consortium of many parts, led by Oxford Brookes and the University of Essex.
The aim is:
- To support the JISC’s forming of an effective and sustainable CoP
- To provide an appropriate infrastructure and tool kit for the CoP
- To support the CoP through specific activities
- To support the JISC in developing the next generation of learning, teaching and administration technologies through the use of the UIDM
- To support the CoP in understanding the value of the UIDM
- To support project teams in the use of the UIDM
- To have fun!
There is (or would be) a slideshare presentation here that sets out some key principles of the project, but for some reason the link is not embedding either using the rtf editor or naked html. So go here for the dope:

Much more soon.
p.s. hmmm and where is that bullet list?
