Project Team
The support model is being built around a 'Hive model'. Each hive is a collection of people who are focused on a Faculty group.
Each faculty will have a dedicated team to support the migration and capability development onto the new learning platform. A Team Leader will coordinate the migration plan and capability development programme for the faculty and support the building of course development skills across the University with a team of FLaTAs.
Faculty Learning and Teaching Advisor role (FLaTA)
A fixed term project role, FLaTAs will be embedded within Faculties to do most of the work to migrate courses and optimise them to work seamlessly in the new LMS. They will need some time and input for this from course coordinators, but the intent is to significantly lighten the load on Academic staff.
The FLaTAs will get comprehensive training in learning design and the new LMS, so they will be our first new LMS super-users. They will be the ones to deliver user training to make sure people are equipped and ready to start teaching on the new LMS.
You are free to contact anyone within your relative Hive to get support. Contact Details for the Team.

Workstream Leads
There are four workstreams to focus and drive the activity for this project and to coordinate the collaboration and consultation across the University.
Workstream 1: RFP, contracts, legal, policy development
Responsible for running the formal RFP process, product selection and purchase negotiations supported by the University legal team, privacy officer and Digital Solutions procurement and security staff.
Prof. Stephen Marshall, Director of Centre for Academic Development
Workstream 2: Change Capability development and course migration
Faculty engagement operations (training, course migrations, direct user support) will be led by the relevant Hive team leader working with an expanded Faculty leadership and operations team. This expanded Hive will include temporary staff in migration teams positioned within each faculty.

Workstream 3: Information, analytics and reporting
Development of the information architecture, coordinating with relevant business units and projects to ensure coherent and reliable information is available to support University management and reporting activities.
Assoc.Prof Irina Elgort, Academic Developer, CAD
Angela Davies, Principal Advisor Paerangi
Workstream 4: Service Design and Development, system architecture and integration
Development of platform design, future requirements, and platform processes and life-cycle to enact business as usual service model. Coordination of technical integration aligned to University Enterprise Architecture undertaken with Digital Solutions systems team and vendors.
