wow.
The tender would have to include sufficient funding to cover staff for
development time and for website development and hosting.
Could the tender come from us as a whole group, perhaps with the
INGOTs as one assessment focus?
I am certainly happy to join in as I already publish this sort of
thing to www.thefreemac.com as my own effort. If we can include
sections on courseware, training materials, etc. I think that this is
a real possibility.
I will just have to get the Head to confirm that I can join in in
school time and get back but definitely interested.
