Background
The delivery of technology-enhanced learning is of increasing relevance to the training and development of researchers in the social sciences. Online resources not only provide a valuable personal development resource for researchers unable to participate in face-to-face training, but also provide an important repository of social science knowledge. There has been a considerable ESRC investment in online resources through initiatives such as the [Methods Programme] (RMP), the [Development Initiative] (RDI), Quantitative Methods Initiative (QMI) and the [Centre for Research Methods] (NCRM).
Aims of the ReStore Project
-Build a prototype of a service for sustaining online resources
-Establish a service to sustain online resources in the field of research methods
-Lead the development of a long-term strategy for ESRC in sustaining on-line resources.
