We had a great day yesterday going through this. Whether or not the Manchester "Inspiring Leaders" team take this up I will certainly roll out a form of it on Teesside at some time.
Interestingly there is nothing we can see and so share with the PRADSA team because each persons iGoogle is personal to them. Something the Manchester group soon got the hang of as they personalised their learning spaces to suit their own personal interests and preferences and much fun was had.

There is a course blog (which participants will subscibe to) but I'll leave it to Bernard and his colleagues to reveal the URL of that.

Since returning home I've experimented more with blogger and found easy ways to impliment some of the things the team were desirous of having.

1) Course Overview
2) Links to some PDF's (actually uploaded to Google Groups)
3) Videos including one shot directly into a £30 webcam

I think what is important is that none of this is dependent upon a highly skilled ICT "gatekeeper". It's all entirely DIY will only a reasonable level of ICT know-how.
