Chris Follows's insight: Last night we held the first web development training session of the online identities project 'Introduction to web development: Session 1' at Central Saint Martins, UAL. It was a first for many of the students who attended and everyone seemed to have really enjoy their first coding experience. The tutor was Simon King from Camberwell College of Arts, Simon demonstrated the basic principles of web coding, teaching the basics of HTML and CSS using free downloadable software called Sublime Text 2.

Chris Follows's insight: This pilot programme will explore the challenges and benefits of delivering web making support training for final year students and staff on the Performance Design and Practice (PDP) course at Central Saint Martins, although we would welcome all interest and contributions into future development from all UAL staff and students. Once we have the formal programme fully developed and tested we aim to showcase our findings and experience as good practice to UAL and the sector and look for this training to be better supported and embeded. We would also like to start developing online learning resources (short animations and videos) for all the programme activities and create a online course.
The DIAL project found many staff and students were lacking vital basic web building knowledge and skills, students and staff have told us they would appreciative some advice and support in this area. There was a general feeling that having a basic understanding of web environments, processes and developments should be viewed as a important requirement of any professional, training professional and practitioner.

Chris Follows's insight: It was really great to meet some of the students from the Performance Design and Practice (PDP) course at Central Saint Martins who are helping us kick off the Online Identities Pilot Programme 2013/14. We started the session by discussing and sharing our perceptions of Online Identities project, and there was a strong feeling around the table that the area of web making/development is very important to professional practice development and needs more support, so this project was very welcome. We went through some of the details of the project and we continued an informal conversation, which we all really enjoyed and agreed that we should include ‘informal chats’ in future planning of the programme and maybe at the end of each session.

With the title Creating a virtuous circle, this conference focuses on how we can build on the last ten years of investment in open educational resources and move to the creation of a virtuous circle of open educational practice? How to be a virtuous rather than a vicious circle and an open rather than a closed one.
OER13 is inviting abstracts for papers/posters within its three key themes of: Evidence - Experience - Expectation
We anticipate presentations which will share lessons learned to inform the feedback loop, stories of current activity to share good practice, and creative solutions to achieve greater emphasis on openness in education.
Booking will open shortly with the price of this two day conference including one night accommodation on campus at £205 (including celebration reception and gala dinner). An exciting programme which we hope that many will want to be part of.

You can see some of our best examples can be viewed on the Process Arts website, at http://process.arts.ac.uk and http://myblog.arts.ac.uk.
Digital technology can enable us to capture, preserve, share, collaborate, and publish our activities. It can simplify, speed up and streamline processes, and in a wide variety of ways, we can expect it to shape many of our social and professional activities in years to come.

The early aims of the DIAL project was to run small and defined mini projects within a wider DIAL project/programme. Therefore our approach was to evaluate each pilot project group individually at the beginning of their projects. This early localised evaluation helped to define the mini projects aims and objectives and improve the overall focus of the DIAL project. Five pilot DIAL projects were identified at the beginning of the project. Follow up evaluation meetings are planned for all the mini projects in May/June 2012.
