Building a sustainable environment for innovation

• Sustainability of skills. This will focus on the extension and deepening of the skills in the knowledge of iLab facilitators, explicitly directed at creating a sustainable capability in each institution and a cooperating network of facilitators with advanced skills.

• The development and production of an iLab ‘Toolkit’. This will involve documenting as learning aids both the core techniques of facilitation, and a compendium of multimedia tools and techniques which have been shared within the project and/or have developed during its lifetime. The experience of the project has shown that there is also scope for versions of these tools which reflect the context of higher education, such as those to create scenarios, and the toolkit will include these where appropriate.

• The mobile iLab. The development of a mobile facility which will take the iLab experience direct to HEIs, conferences and networks, and thus reinforce the learning from the LHI project.
