The objectives are to:

• Deepen understandings about the diverse range of tools that compose the online identity panorama of services and uses elaborating what can be carried out with existing tools;
• Foster the exchange of information and practices in terms of online identity management practices in educational contexts;
• Raise the levels of awareness regarding the digital identity challenges and threats with related educational contexts through a dedicated web space/repository;
• Explore scenarios for the future development and deployment of online identities in relation to lifelong learning;
• Provide individuals with an open source self-representation device that can be plugged into major Open Source blogs to help establish lifelong learning related transactions such as competency representation and competency validation, amongst others. This plug-in will also be presented for delivery and integration into the WordPress.com blog hosting system;
• Disseminate the project results to the wider UK educational community and beyond.
