| The project will investigate the climate under which the open, collaborative and participatory environment found on the web “Web 2.0” can be used to achieve institutional goals. Student interest in Web 2.0 and consumer technology is a given, what needs to be demonstrated is where, when and how this energy and imagination can deliver elements of value to the institution. For 2008/09 the University will deliver student computing through Google Apps for Education which will provide the infrastructure, tools and support for user generated contributions. The challenge is to recognize and propagate valuable student work, it is to integrate the environment with the core, back-office and teaching and learning systems. The project will also investigate and implement solutions for key areas of concern – on systems quality, data quality, constant beta and the organisational change issues
