Progress achieved this period
The delivery of the e-Vision module data task has been achieved, together with a prototype facility for
limited online amendment of Module Definition Form data (yet to be rolled out), and an online Module
Definition Form available through e-Vision (in testing phase). The data entry of the Module Definition
data continues, and is expected to be complete by 19 February 2010.

Outlook for next period
The PPD for phase one of the Curriculum Management project has now been superseded by other
requirements, and a revised PPD will be produced by the project team for approval by the Project
Board. As an indication, the next deliverables are expected to be:
-
Develop and deliver staff training in the e-Vision Module Definition Form facility
Implement a facility so that staff can produce a PDF version of the e-Vision Module Definition
Form
Ensure appropriate access for staff to enable proper control of the amendment facility of
module data via e-Vision
Develop and implement an Anglia.ac.uk version of the Module Definition Form for staff,
students and prospective students
Enable the online module catalogue to link to the Anglia.ac.uk version of the Module Definition
Form
Develop and implement an archive system for superseded Module Definition Forms

RAG
REASON
A
Scope has been changed slightly to take account of
changed priorities from the SITS project. Amended PPD
will provide details.
A
Additional phase one costs have now been identified for
the DeskPDF tool that will allow the production of Module
Definition Forms in PDF format from e-Vision. This was
unanticipated as we expected the documents to be
produced in Word. Details of cost to follow when
available.

A
Quality Variance

Stakeholder Issue
G
Risk Level
A
The project was delayed due to technical problems
relating to the use of MAV, and imposed delay as the
SITS Project was established.
e-Vision task has variable performance depending on the
version of Internet Explorer being used. Stability and
reliability of e-Vision is causing some concern.
