We are now in the process of disseminating Stage 1 information internally. The data has been presented to the Senior Management Team and it was received very positively and has been the catalyst for us to ask the pertinent questions for invoking change.
The results have been extremely beneficial for marketing purposes which has engaged top level staff and is now resulting in more effective internal collaborative working with other relevant departments.
We are really pleased with the positive outcome of the dissemination process - long may it continue!

Data Definitions summary
As a way of reaching out to those not directly involved in the project in a user friendly and accessible way, we created a simplified outline of the feed content.
This has had good feedback internally from departments who are engaged in the project, including Marketing, Quality and project champions.

Time for some Creativity
Creative Assembly
As an Art & Design College we are somewhat special! Students' motivations, requirements and aspirations are outside the norms of most other qualifactions.
Working collaboratively, sharing best practice and findings from Stage 2 with other Art and Design Institutions offers us a unique and varying perspective on course data.
We have formed a super art and design data busting group - known as...The Creative Assembly.
Our first meeting is going to be held on the 30th April at Bournemouth.

We like this one...
Having reviewed some of the projects on JISC Elevator we really like the Mobile apps proposal.
The idea is to re-use the XML files they produce to create an two Apps, both on iPhone and Android to enable students to search for courses. One app will be institutional based (you will be able to rebrand it and point to your XML feeds) the second will be a generic app that will pull all the XML feeds.
If you like the sound of it, or want to see more, click on the above link and register your vote. Feel free to pass to colleagues.
