JISC

The College of North West London is the 200^th institution to sign up for the Jorum User service since its launch in January of this year.

Funded by JISC and jointly run by EDINA and MIMAS, Jorum is a free online repository service for teaching and support staff in FE and HE, helping to build a community for the sharing, reuse and repurposing – or adapting - of learning and teaching materials.

Mark Dellar, Learning Resources Manager at the College of North West London, said he was delighted that his college would now have access to the more than 1,000 resources available in Jorum, a number which is increasing daily. ‘We’ll promote Jorum internally through our staff intranet and via our team of ILT Champions’, he said. Jorum, he continued, will help his Learning Resource Centre ‘facilitate staff and student access to a range of resources’ and keep them up to date with ‘developments in ILT and blended learning’.

Mark signed his institution up to Jorum User because it offered ‘access to learning materials being developed in other institutions’. He looks forward, he continued, to using Jorum and its resources as an important means of enhancing the good practice in ILT promoted at the college.

Over 800 individual users from registered institutions have signed up to Jorum User since January 2006, giving them access to all its learning and teaching resources in a wide range of subject areas.
