Welcome to lusid.org.uk.

This is the home page of the Open Source LUSID Web-based Personal Development Planning System.

LUSID enables you to: record your experiences and achievements and to reflect on them in terms of skills which might well be useful for employment; to keep a journal or log; to plan goals and activities; to perform skills audits and access skills guidance and to automatically construct your CV.

You can register for a test account if you want to have a look at LUSID (this will register you as if yopu are an Oxford student). If you already have an 'Oxford' account then you can Login here.

Please feel free to register for an alternative version of the system, this will demonstrate how the system can be made to look different for different institutions. If you already have an account for this version then you can Login here.

The most recent development is a version of LUSID tailored for Oxford Research Postgraduates (called ASPIRE) which helps students attain the standards laid out in the AHRC's Joint Skills Statement.

Note well: please bear in mind that the usual way to use LUSID with a course or module is to create a set of customised pages and not use the full system. The full system is often confusing to novice users.

LUSID is available for download at Source Forge. The documentation is included with the WAR file, however, if you like you may browse it here

There are two mail lists to support LUSID:

You may also contact the LUSID team direct.

This site will grow into a useful resource over the next few months.
