Our first test installation of open-source ‘team collaboration tool’ Open Atrium is at: http://openatrium.online.lincoln.ac.uk/. It’s limited access at the moment. We’re evaluating it as one potential platform for a University of Lincoln VRE.

Posted on March 30th, 2011 by Paul StainthorpThe VRE project at the University of Lincoln is looking at building, from scratch, a lightweight, modular, loosely-coupled online environment which will allow academic staff, students & external researchers to collaborate on research projects using a ‘toolkit’ of re-usable applications (calendaring, document authoring, web publishing, rights management, etc.)
We’re installing and trialling a couple of applications which could provide the framework of the VRE itself:
And we’re looking at a mixture of existing and new web applications and initiatives (shared calendars, RefWorks, the Google Docs API, the Repository, WordPress) to provide the constituent applications of the VRE.
