The third project meeting is over, I am just sitting in my hotel room and want to let you know what's happen there. Yesterday we ended with a very controversial discussion about the format for our blended learning cook book. It's promised as an outcome of this project and I still believe that could be a great opportunity to show our experienced based competencies. To find a solution we build a work group which should create a common structure for that book. What I know at the end of this day is that we probably going for a very complexe and detailed book about blended learning, case studies included. The result and the way of it's development is exemplary for the cooperation and communication in this project. It's not that we didn't work hard and try to discuss all the questions which came up during the project. There are big differences in the way of communication, contribution and acceptance. Maybe it's a cultural difference, maybe it's a gender issue. It's probably the summary of both. We often missed the willingness of our coordinating institution to find a common sense to sort out obscurities, to discuss different ideas. The official part of the meeting ended this morning but the group was left back with a lot of unanswered questions:

• What are the criterias to evalute the qualitity of the created courses?
• How do we evaluate the work of our tutors/facilitators?
• How will we share our course if they will be not available in English?
• How does the common template for the course design looks like?
• How can we backup other courses when do not have the access rights to do that?

If we stuck at these points nearly all partners will loose a lot of the ideas we had with this project.
The rest-project group decided to summarize all discussed topics and put all open points on the table until they are solved. We do not want to be stopped with the sentence: Thank you for your contribution. Next please.
