Encouraging users to remix and upload content back to the LabSpace has been a bit of a problem, most likely due to the fact that downloading and editing the content on your own PC is such a pain (finding XML editing package etc etc). So we’re looking at being able to edit content in situ, which should make it far easier for users. Enabling this won’t be quite a as easy as it first seems (even though Moodle provides most of the necessary functionality) – most problems being related to tracking changes and version control.

In the meantime, Jenny gave me access to be a ‘teacher’ on a course I had uploaded, meaning that I can now edit the material in situ. Giving users permissions in this way this might be an interim option until the full in situ editing is enabled, though it could be time consuming if lots of users requested access – so will need to wait and see if the porgramme team give this the go-ahead
