Resources available from the JISC Advisory Services
This post aims to highlight a range of resources already available to support Business and Community Engagement provided by the JISC Advisory Services. General resources from each of the JISC Advisory Services may well be of benefit to all so it’s well worth taking a look around each of their websites:
- JISC Digital Media: www.jiscdigitalmedia.ac.uk
- JISC infoNet: www.jiscinfonet.ac.uk
- JISC Legal: www.jisclegal.ac.uk
- JISC Netskills: www.netskills.ac.uk
- JISC Procureweb: www.procureweb.ac.uk
- JISC TechDis: www.techdis.ac.uk
Each service has produced a range of resources focussed on BCE including general guidance, online training and publications.
Advisory Services Infrastructure
A recent gathering of JISC Services saw a wide range of dynamic and interactive conversations taking place, none more so than those widely available via Twitter (#ASaway09). With the introduction of the new overarching company it was a useful forum for all to challenge, discuss and contribute to the way we move forward.
In line with the JISC Business and Community Engagement (BCE) Programme, JISC Advisory Services (ASs) have been working with one another to collaboratively deliver 4 projects: Awareness & Education; Collaborative Online Tools; Embedding BCE; and Supporting Training, CPD and Staff Exchange for BCE Practitioners. There has been some excellent progress in how the ASs are working together (BCE, Curriculum Design & Delivery etc.) however, the ASs Awayday provided the perfect forum to discuss some of the tools that are currently in use and any future requirements regarding infrastructure provided by the company. The following summary represents an outline of the discussions that took place.
