EMMA has got off to a good start with a kick-off meeting involving all partners in February which served to lay the initial plans for the project. A further meeting in April in Lisbon focused on reaching consensus between the needs and requirements of the different MOOC providers and the platform design. Each of the work package leaders has been active in setting up work plans and priorities with the partners and there has been quite some progress in terms of the translation and transcription work to be done along with the work to set up an effective pilot in September. The coming months are very critical as this is when the important technical and usability tests as well as user testing will take place, necessary for a successful launch of the platform in September. Meanwhile as a project, EMMA has been launched and there is already a significant amount of interest, particularly amongst other potential MOOC providers. In the coming months this interest will continue to be fostered with presentations about the project taking place in several events.
