Well, I think you must be getting pretty close to it. Sounds great, and a
lot more than most colleges have done.
The JISC is carrying out a study of MLE activity in FE/HE to find the
extent of activity in the sector. The study is being done early in the new
year, and will report in summer, and should be of interest to everyone on
the list.
