The project will be undertaken over three years in five overlapping phases: design, development, implementation, evaluation and dissemination. This is illustrated in the figure below.

The completion of a prototype resource in time for the start of the academic year 2005-06 is a critical project milestone.  It is intended that some preliminary work will take place during the preceding academic year in order to ensure the achievement of this milestone.

The phased approach represents an iterative development allowing the evaluation of piloting the prototype to inform further development of the product and the supporting resources.

The majority of the cost will be incurred by academic and support staff time and the phasing of the expenditure reflects the time devoted to design and development activity.
