BCE at the University of Glasgow
Business and Community Engagement (BCE) is a diverse landscape covering many activities that involve engagement between higher/further education institutions and external partners. The wide range of roles and activities within BCE can sometimes make it hard to appreciate the full extent of this increasingly important aspect of institutions’ missions.
The JISC Advance BCE Team have developed a set of videos and podcasts due for release over the coming months that highlight specific activities, issues and opportunities across a range of learning providers that relate specifically to BCE.
The first in this range provides an overview from the University of Glasgow focusing on the roles of Laura Tyler and Dr. Kevin Cullen. Together they highlight: a change of focus in recent times from ‘knowledge transfer’ to ‘knowledge exchange’; the importance of knowledge transfer impact plans; institutions being accessible; effective communication techniques; the potential for web 2.0 and social media; and the civic responsibility of learning providers.
Based upon those areas outlined in the video, you may be interested to know of the following resources available from JISC Advance:
- Change Management: an online resource which provides guidance on change management.
- Communication and Collaboration: a range of training material available from JISC Netskills.
- Writing for the Web: useful for those frequently involved in online communication.
