My ReMIT research is, in effect, an ongoing exploration of the JISC Managed Learning Environment thinking that was high on our FE agendas some years ago.

Back in 2001 this diagram gave us a context in which to start thinking about interoperability, and more general integration, issues. It was based on a Becta original produced by Bob Powell. Some rather sniffy comments were made about such diagrams in a later JISC MLE document but they were useful at the time!

The diagram was produced long before anyone talked about Web 2.0 (and at a time when enthusiasts would give their right arm to have access to a VLE).  

I think the MLE concept still has resonance with current priorities - the "e-mature college" that Becta's Generator tool set out to help you develop depends on whole-college ILT integration at several levels.

MLE was always about college processes (not software products - something that often got lost at the time MLEs were spoken of) and the college culture that those processes mirrored (or created?).

ReMIT seeks to explore how colleges have gone about using ILT optimally to support the culture & processes important to their mission.
