Staff Development
JISC provides resources to assist universities and colleges and their staff acquire the knowledge and skills they need to make effective use of new and existing digital technologies.
Through a range of activities, including workshops, accredited training, e-learning, and guidance materials, JISC services advise on the use of new technologies and their relevance to a range of core business processes. Topics covered include legal issues, support for special needs, using digital media, improving administration and providing inclusive learning experiences.
JISC-funded projects continue to explore new digital technologies in education and to share knowledge, experience and successful practice.
