Digitisation, repositories and learning spaces to feature at BETT

Digitisation, repositories and learning spaces will feature strongly at the BETT conference at the beginning of January. The largest educational ICT event in the world, the conference and exhibition are expected to attract nearly 30,000 delegates and visitors from around the world.  

'JISC representatives will be presenting at the conference on areas of activity of particular importance across educational sectors' JISC representatives will be presenting at the conference on areas of activity of particular importance across educational sectors, including the provision of major scholarly resources, the development of repositories as a means of making available a wide variety of digital content and the design of technology-rich spaces to support learning and teaching.

Ros Smith, author of the JISC publication Designing Spaces for Effective Learning, and speaker at the event, says that the conference, which has traditionally focussed on ICT in the schools sector, will be a good opportunity for practitioners and others across sectors to learn about each others’ needs and perspectives: ‘Much of what we do has application across sectors,’ she says, ‘ and so we have a great deal we can learn from each other. This conference will be an excellent chance for us to reach people from a wide range of educational contexts.’  

BETT runs from the 10th to the 13th January. Further details are available from: BETT
