MASSIVE
MASSIVE is an EU-funded project coordinated by the University of Granada - the web site is at http://cevug.ugr.es/massive/.
The prime aim of the project is to design a model of support services for European universities engaged in e-learning. This is being done in a cooperative way involving a large network of organisations, the members of the MASSIVE consortium, tothether with stakeholders not directly participating in the project, who liaise via a Strategic Advisory Committee. The university members of MASSIVE include:
- Universidad de Barcelona
- University of Bergen
- Budapest University of Technology and Economics
- University of Edinburgh
- EuroPACE and its member universities
Student involvement is handled via ESIB, the National Unions of Students in Europe.
A key outcome of MASSIVE is to a promote a peer review evaluation approach, based on models widely tested in the university partners. Via Peer Review Visits, those in charge of the best support services practices will help each university to refne and improve their support services for e-learning. At this point the project becomes very similar to a benchmarking project.

on four-honed-down ivory toes
my massive buttocks slipping
like oiled parts with each light step.”
