C. Events group (former Action Plan/Pisa group)

Participants: Peder Andrén, Thomas Aigner, Kerstin Muff, Elizabeth McEvoy, Go Sugimoto, Zsófia Komlósi-Gera and Silke Jagodzinski.

Current work: When this work group was set up, its first task was to put together an Information and Dissemination Action Plan which is WP7’s second deliverable, which was finished on 31 August 2012. The plan will however be a living document so revisions and updates will follow. The group is also working on setting up workshops and conferences. A workshop in Pisa for country managers will take place in Pisa on 28-29 January 2013. The first APEx conference will take place in Dublin on 26-28 June 2013.

D. LMS group

Participants: Peder Andrén, Susanne Danelius, Thomas Aigner, Kerstin Muff, Daniel Jeller, Go Sugimoto, Anna Koulikourdi, Anna Krochmal, Fernando Vicente and Koit Saaravet.

Current work: The setting up of a Learning Management System in the APEx project website plays a highly important part in the efficient dissemination of the Archives Portal Europe. It has however had to wait until the APEx project website was set up. The first meeting with the LMS group will take place on 21 August but the members have already prepared by studying other LMSs (for instance in archival institution, library and university homepages).

Special functions within the LMS group:

Koit Saarevet: LMS editor. Puts prepared material into the LMS and takes care of that it’s presented in a logical way (which might imply the writing of additional texts that function as “bridges” between the different elements in the LMS).

Susanne Danelius: adjusts the design aspects.

Daniel Jeller: Back up for Koit Saarevet as LMS editor.

Peder Andrén: As WP7L main responsible for the LMS. Should therefore approve any changes in it (apart from smaller adjustments like for instance corrections of misspellings or in contact lists).

Tasks: Going through and review the papers submitted for the APEx conferences 1) to assess their relevance for the conferences and forward these assessments to the Events group and the respective conference committees and 2) to trace what could be developed into articles for an Archives Portal Europe anthology.
