JISC

The latest edition of JISC Inform is now live with a focus on how JISC is working to support colleges and universities enhance the learner experience. 

In this issue we look at how students are taking an active part in their course design and delivery which is in turn increasing their satisfaction levels in our ‘students as agents for change’ article and ‘has mobile reached the tipping point?’

We catch up with Joi Ito about his involvement with Creative Commons (CC) and how opening up resources through CC licences is unleashing resources onto the internet, offering learners a greater understanding of the courses they will be studying.

Improving the visibility of course information is also a focus with JISC’s forthcoming funding call, highlighted in our ‘market your university and boost student retention’ article.

We look at how to manage the new responsibility that comes with technology with the support of JISC’s regional support centres in ‘why safeguarding is no longer a buzzword’.

Our debate carries on the theme of meeting the expectations of learners and looks at ‘can online learning replace a face to face course?’ Why not give us your opinions and upload your own video to add to the discussion?

As students demand seamless access, quick admin and fast services, JISC supports this by providing the invisible skin that binds all these systems together in our feature on ‘resources for administrators’ and we take a look at international projects such as the London 2012 Olympics and the e-InfraNet initiative to see lessons learnt.
