The infoKit is the result of a project commissioned by the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) as part of its MLE programme.
It was managed by Tish Roberts, the JISC Building MLEs in HE Programme Manager, and arose from a proposal made in a report written by Jos Boys which reviewed the experience of this programme.
The project was located at the University of Bolton and overseen by Oleg Liber. The commissioning editor was Sarah Holyfield, who was responsible for managing the overall development and final editing of the infoKit.
Each section was the responsibility of a single editor, who wrote most of text and identified the key resources. The editors were:
Why might you want an MLE? Stuart Lee, University of Oxford.
Understanding your Organisation, Grainne Conole, University of Southampton.
Gathering Requirements, Tony Toole, Coleg Sir Gar.
Technology Options, Tom Franklin, Franklin Consulting.
Designing your MLE, Greg Newton-Ingham, University of East Anglia and Scott Wilson, University of Wales, Bangor.
Implementation, Ian Bloor, De Montfort University.
Embedding, Mark Stiles, Staffordshire University.
The project would also like to acknowledge the contribution of other members of the advisory group:
Tish Roberts, JISC MLE Programme Manager
Sarah Porter, JISC MLE Programme Director
Paul Ricketts, Vice Principal, City College Manchester
and

The infoKit is hosted and maintained by JISC infoNet.
