Telstar

Welcome to the TELSTAR Project

The TELSTAR (Technology Enhanced Learning supporting STudents to achieve Academic Rigour) project ran from November 2008 to July 2010. It was run by the Open University and funded under the UK Higher Education Joint Information Systems Committee’s Institutional Innovation Programme (Phase 2 – Large-scale Institutional Exemplars). The project was carried out in collaboration with RefWorks-COS.
The key outputs of the projects are:

• Open source code for integrating reference management tools into the Moodle online learning platform
• A toolkit for those looking at integrating reference management tools into their learning environment ‘ReMIT’, including a detailed description of the OU approach

For more details see:

• ReMIT (web pages)
• ReMIT (pdf download)

• Demonstration of TELSTAR software

The Final Report of the project may also be of interest, and is available on the TELSTAR project page on the JISC website.

The project commenced in November 2008 and completed at the end of July 2010.
