Colleagues, for your information, I hope that this is of interest. Claire Content creation and management Wednesday, 26 January 2005 British Library, London The abundance of digital content, tools to create and store digital content, and the rate that new products and technologies appear on the market raises many difficult questions for practitioners, LEA advisors, content providers and policy makers alike. For example: · What constitutes 'quality' content and how can it be identified? · With a wide range of emerging technologies, what software development and content creation tools are there to support new technologies and which of these tools should be used. · How can content from a variety of sources be managed and integrated? This seminar will look at some of these issues and will include an educational ICT policy background, standards and interoperability, development of the content market, evaluation and assessment of content and perspectives from end users.
