Day 2 started off with a good breakfast, after a short night's sleep. And then on to the conference room!
Most interesting of this second day, at least for me, was the preliminary analysis that was presented by Bert Melief (M&I/Partners) on the way elearning is 'done' and sustained in the nordic countries (Norway, Sweden and Finland). I think it was in Sweden that they actively involve students in the selection of projects, as well as in the evaluation of projects. Sounds like a very good idea. Let's just copy this idea and do it over here in The Netherlands, I would say!
This day was finished off with a very warm 'thank you, and see you again' by Malcom Read, JISC's Executive Secretary. There was a very positive vibe on both days. This cooperation between JISC and SURF is really taking off, and is also setting the standard for other cooperation within Europe. It really feels very good to be part of it.
