Accelerating Globally Distributed Team Innovation: Building an Experimental Testbed to Leverage Digital Libraries in the Transformation of Design Engineering Practice

The DIDET Project was led by the University of Strathclyde, Stanford University and Olin College to enhance learning opportunities by enabling students to improve their information acquisition and retrieval skills and to participate in global team-based design engineering projects. Funded by JISC (£521K) and NSF ($584K), the project has disseminated widely on wiki-based systems developed to transform the education process for design engineering; and student information management skills.
