JISC

 

We have in this country a truly outstanding research base. However you look at the data on academic impact, you find the UK competing at the very highest level. In a number of areas, our researchers lead the world. The eight UK research councils are proud of their effective funding of a portfolio of work.
Ian Diamond, the Guardian Read the story

UK gives excellent value for money from its research budget - we are number one in the G8 on efficiency measures.

JISC has provided the best training events I have attended this year, relevant, professional and up to date.

EDINA

The best training course I have been on [Digimap]
Exceptionally useful and interesting [Digimap]

TASI

They were the first folk who actually really attempted to help me and were genuine in their work to do so. They were honest about their knowledge but used their network very effectively to give me help. 

The person I talked with was extremely helpful and indeed subsequently sent on a further (alternative) response forwarded from the IPR Helpdesk by JISC Legal. I was very satisfied with the help given. It was very useful (in relation to Copyright issues) in helping me to complete the application for funding’.

The combination of detailed emails, tel. contact where necessary and the comprehensive notes on the site.  The advice was clear and treated me like a human rather than a complete prat (which has been my experience of other computer help services).       

TASI team expertise in the digital image library software was invaluable       

Biz/Ed

I have used Biz/ed for a number of years and have just had a sudden urge to let you know that I think your site is absolutely outstanding - Thanks for what you offer.

I just wanted to tell u how great the new layout is, and how awesome your website is. It's very easy to navigate through, and the resources you got are sooo helpful! I especially like the Quick Jump Box; it brings me down to the specific topics that I want to look through. I'm an IB student doing Economics at the higher level and I find your site really amazing. It simplifies stuff for me that I never used to understand, and the way the theories and policies are explained makes it interesting to read, since its in everyday language (unlike the textbooks that we have to study from).

I am an FE lecturer in Business Administration.…we make extensive use of the Biz/ed, it really is a very good site and I'd like to thank you for the help it gives me on a weekly basis.

Just wanted to say how great I think biz/ed is. It's really useful, well-organised and relevant material in easy-to-understand and well-sized 'chunks'!  The search facilities are great and the overall look of the site is pretty good too.

I just wanted to thank the responsible team for the very very great material you present on your web pages in the area of economics of development. I did not find anything as helpful as your page on the whole Internet!.

I just wanted to congratulate you on setting up possibly the most informative website on economics in the world. The site is just exhilarating. It is concise, yet very explanatory. Keep up the good work ....

I would just like to thank you for maintaining such a great web-site, I recently bought a Microeconomic book which boasted of having a great on-line web site, it fails in comparison to yours, and its use is restricted to a couple of months.

May I simply say that you have THE best website on earth regarding economics and business. The information is clear, concise and to the point without flashy language. It is an excellent resource for students like me doing the IB programme in a foreign country, especially the "economics" notes posted on your site.

What a WONDERFUL set of lesson plans and resources you have created on the subjects of business studies and AVCE business. Work of this nature being shared with the teaching community is outstanding!.

Wow, firstly can I just say what a fantastic resource this is. I teach on a course for people keen to start up their own business, who do not speak English as their first language.

JISC InfoNet

Keep them funded! …A very valuable and appreciated JISC Service. Long may it continue.

Good service, and very accessible to the RSCs. We will continue to prioritise infoNet initiatives.

I particularly value the fact that InfoNet try out events before running them – and respond to requests to make events more interactive or more relevant to FE.

The workshop I attended was excellent. A colleague attended one on process review and was very impressed – I have never before heard her being so enthusiastic about a one day course!

Intute (formerly RDN)

This is the first time I have ever used the Altis website. The resources and information on this website are fantastic. As a third year BSc Tourism Management student I have never found a tourism website that was so accessible and displayed so many relevant topics and statistics concerning the tourism industry that you do not have to pay for.

TechDis

TechDis is a fantastic service which has really helped to give me the information I need to speak with confidence and authority to the colleges I support.

TechDis is an invaluable service to the educational community without whom, we would, frankly, struggle to meet some of the demands of our clients.

Excellent service provided by dedicated, knowledgeable and professional staff.
