On the Tas Innovations Wiki you will find a Case Study template attached to your project page, the Case Study will form part of your outputs to the Framework. Although the Case Study is not due until 15 April 2011 you can go in and start using it as a diary throughout the life of you project. The case study will need to include multimedia such as photos, video and audio to bring the story to life. Instructions on how to do this are on the Tas Innovations Wiki ** http://tasinnovations.wikispaces.com/How+To **
 * // Case Study //**

In February 2011 the Toolbox Champion will hold a technical workshop for your technical support team members. If possible outputs should be 10MB or less and packaged as IMS Content Packages (your technical support may know all about this if not give us a call).
