Develop protocols and standards for the transfer of information across institutions
Develop the theme of student-centred lifelong learning
Explore access to and delivery of learning materials across institutions

Phase 2 (target September 2004)
Implement for the wider consortium …extending the multi-institution learner record to include personal developmentApproximately 300,000 students in the SCR
