The Only Connect project at the University of Bolton is one of 6 small-scale pilot projects that have been funded to support institutions in their responses to to emergent technologies.

Other pilot projects are in progress at Staffordshire University, University of Cambridge, Kingston College,  Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication and Manchester Metropolitan University.  A full list of projects with summaries and accompanying links can be found at the JISC site.

Today I attended a brief introductory meeting with the project leaders and the JISC support team at the JISC Innovation Forum 2008, held at Keele University.  Project leaders outlined their projects and agreed to organise an event for development teams to meet and exchange ideas/experiences later in the year.

Mark Stubbs from the REACh project at Manchester Metropolitan University was present and expressed interest in identifying opportunities for collaboration.
