JISC

The subject of identity management in higher and further education is becoming increasingly important as both students and staff within colleges and universities become more aware of what is being done with their identity, and as new ways are found to use identity information. This session will draw from the findings of the recent Identity Project, informing institutions of progress to date with regard to identity management in UK HEIs, and offering advice on future steps. The session will finish with a focus on JISC’s own plans in facing the challenges around identity management in higher and further education over the next few years.

Objectives

• Inform the audience about the Identity Project and what its survey and audits reveal about institutional readiness
• Enable individuals to measure themselves against their peers
• Flag up the relevant areas that institutions need to take heed of
