THIS IS THE MOST EXCITING STEP OUR CULTURE AND CREATIVITY AMBASSADORS HAS TAKEN SO FAR. THIS PLATFORM WILL GIVE US THE CAPACITY TO COLLECTIVELY DEVELOP CREATIVITY AND MAKE THE MOST USE OF THE REGIONAL CULTURAL OFFER FOR RAISING ACHIEVEMENT, ENHANCING LEARNING AND INCREASING ENJOYMENT FOR OUR LEARNERS.

This is our organisational, management and communications tool and a place where our network of ambassadors, managers, artists and cultural professionals can- 

• discuss and develop creativity in learning
• explore project ideas,
• share schemes of work,
• leave messages for colleagues,
• host steering groups,
• hold virtual meetings,
• find funding guidance,
• how to turn your idea into a project plan and contract artists,
• self evaluate,
• audit schemes,
• find the results of action research and bench-marking,
• And so much more ......

And all of this is discreet and secure, only you will decide who shares this information.

General information, good news sharing for the world to see and read, articles in the public domain, 'What's On' information etc will remain on the Web-site which fronts the Learning Platform. The Platform is the management and organisational tool which will enable us to work together more effectively and hopefully expand our resources and successes.

Every single Ambassador, Manager, Cultural Partner and participating Artist will be sent by e-mail a unique password to log-in.

Once into the platform there you will find the map/contents with open access areas for the whole network but also the potential to set up discreet 'chat/meeting' rooms for communications between an agreed number of users.

We have a platform manager who at your request will set up your discreet working space and who in the membership you want to join you. When you log-in you will find your new messages and content from your fellow users waiting for you. But nobody else will have access to your group unless you choose to admit them.

Once we are fully using the Platform it will become whatever we make and you the user will dictate how it is used and for what purpose but in the mean time we need your feedback, when you first log-in you will find a Quick Comments Box, where we want to hear your ideas for uses and what it is you think you need out of this resource tool.

And you can talk to Mike Carter Ednie Wilson, Jeanne Hale, Caroline Pearce, Peter Bolger, Karolynne Hart, Craig Johnston, Natalie Coyle for any further details or any further ideas..
