Yes, the Leicester collection management interactive tutorial will be a computer interactive (sorry to have been a bit vague). The idea is to have it available for students to use to supplement the taught course, both in Leicester and for distance learning. It will be a sort of 'museum simulation' - you can explain to people for hours about terminology control, etc, but having to actually try and find something should be much more effective. It will also ( I hope) have some sort of self-assessment element. The idea of combining resources to work in different areas is a very good one, though obviously there may be problems with compatibility of systems, and differing audiences. I'm trying to get an idea of people/institutions that might want to get involved, though I admit I'm not sure how it would all fit together!
