Researcher Development Framework

                   Phase 2 ``Uses interactive communication

What is a VRE?



                    VRE = Virtual Research Environment

               An online toolbox to support research;
               Researchers vary widely — so do VREs;
               A few examples:
                   Data storage and sharing;
                   Analysis tools;
                   Access to computational resources;
                   Communication & collaboration tools;

Reasons for researchers




               Flexible tools:
                    Many to choose from;
                    Choose as few as you need;
                    ``Shrink-wrap'' the problem;
               Flexible permissions:
                    Control access to protect intellectual property;
                    Customise roles & permissions site-by-site if needed.

Student projects




               Each MRes and PhD project gets a worksite;
               Some well used, some less so;
               Some students, some supervisors taking the lead;
               Some interesting innovations:
                   e.g. Microsoft OneNote as Electronic Lab Notebook, syncing to
                   Sakai via WebDAV.

Electronic Lab Notebook




               Idea: Sakai provides some basic components of an ELN:
                    Data storage & sharing (Resources);
                    Standardised data entry (OSP Forms);
                    Access control.
               Fairly easy to bring these together?
               Not sure yet…
