Barriers to take up of technology & innovation	1A Community engagement and a typology of barriers Room: CBA0.060	Alex Voss, e-Uptake Rob Procter, e-Uptake	This session will focus on community engagement and development as well as barriers to and enablers of uptake. Based on work done in the e-Uptake project, we will discuss lessons learnt on the identification of community members and getting their input on technological and service development. The fieldwork conducted has resulted in a typology of barriers that we will present. We would like to invite the wider JISC community to comment on our experiences and findings and to share their own.
Research data: whose problem is it?	1B Legal and policy issues Room: CBA1.100	Session Chair: Neil Jacobs, JISC Charles Oppenheim, IPR Consultant Liz Lyon, UKOLN/DCC Mags McGinley, DCC	This session will use debate to draw out the main challenges facing universities that intend to manage and share research data created by their researchers. The motion for debate is 'Curating and sharing research data is best done where the institution asserts IPR claims over data'. Participants can share their experiences on the legal and policy landscape within institutions, and the extent to which that landscape supports data curation. Participants should prepare and submit an evidenced response to the motion prior to the session (submitted via a dedicated wiki in advance of the meeting) so we can ensure all participants are informed about current JISC-funded and other work in this area and they can consider the range of issues facing institutions.
Student Experience - how to meet changing expecations	1C Listening to Learners Room: CBA1.076	Session Chair: Sarah Knight, e-Learning Team Ellen Lessner & Rhona Sharpe, Support & Synthesis project for Learner Experiences of e-Learning	This practical workshop will offer participants an opportunity to engage with the materials from the national JISC-Academy Learner Experiences of e-Learning events. The learner experience projects are demonstrating the value of making visible how learners engage with e-learning, the choices they make and challenges they face. This workshop will use tools, data and stories from the learner experiences projects to demonstrate different ways of involving learners in development projects and designing learner-centred evaluation.
Sustaining innovation beyond JISC funding	1D e-Content Business Models and Sustainability - From theory into practice Room: CBA0.061	Session Chair: Stuart Dempster Humphrey Southall, University of Portsmouth Paull Ell, Queen's University Belfast Peter White, ProQuest Michael Popham, Bodleian Library, University of Oxford	We define 'sustainability' as having a mechanism in place for generating, or gaining access to, the economic resources necessary to keep intellectual property or the service available on an ongoing basis. This does not mean that every 'project' will need to launch an independent organisation or business to do this - many do not. In this session we will present three different approaches to sustaining academic electronic resources including a public-private partnership between the University of Oxford and ProQuest; a not-for-profit consortia collaboration between Queens University Belfast and JSTOR and an institutional supported initiative at the University of Portsmouth.
User owned technologies & institutions infrastructure	1E Web 2.0, IPR and You Room: CBA1.072	Naomi Korn, IPR Consultant Neil Witt, IPR Consultant	The session, split into 3 distinct parts, will explore the implications and issues resulting from Web 2.0 activities and software and the IPR implications, the second session will involve an interactive demo of an IPR support tool for projects and those wishing to identify and plan for IPR elements of their projects, lastly the team will engage in an IPR 'surgery' to discuss real examples with particpants.
