Overview

A management perspective I’m not so technical, so I asked my PhD students and

Research Assistants what I should say at the TENcompetence workshop.

Some issues around SOAs for CVTLEs We have completed a SOA VRE. This is what my PhD students and Research

Assistants seem to be worried about. Questions. No answers…

Tell me where I’ve got it wrong I may not have understood what my PhD students

and Research Assistants said, and your feedback will certainly help me when I report back.
