The Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC), UK, has launched its investment plan for the academic year 2009/2010. JISC will invest over £7 million to advance the innovative use of digital technologies in UK colleges and universities.
Over the next nine months JISC will be investing in a range of projects across universities and colleges to support innovation in research, teaching and learning to aid the management of institutions. Projects will range from 12 months to three years in duration.
Among the areas JISC will be funding are: cloud computing for research; learning and teaching innovation grants; business modelling and sustainability for online content and collections to develop best practice; a ‘digipedia’ prototype to bring together resources, standards, best practise and expertise on the digital content lifecycle; shared best practice for university researchers working with business and community groups; and access and identity management.
