Project Overview
where:now was a knowledge transfer initiative which aimed to evangelise the use of technologies of location within the University of Nottingham. There is a growing body of knowledge within specialist centres of expertise in the university on the creation and deployment of location-based resources for both research and teaching. The aim of where:now was to strengthen this emerging core of expertise and to disseminate knowledge of geospatial technologies across the University. This was acheived through two workshops and helped to create many new collaborations, including ten new grant applications by August 2009. The project successfully brought together academics from the existing centres of research expertise, those interested in teaching and learning, members of information services, the estates department, and others, and culminated in the ongoing Augmented Campus initiative.
