Jisc has welcomed the publication of the Government response to the independent report, produced by the Further Education Learning Technology Action Group (FELTAG), encouraging innovation in the use of technology by the UK further education system.
Matthew Hancock, Minister of State for Skills and Enterprise, explains in the executive summary that the aim of the report is to remove the obstacles for providers to harness digital technologies. Being so they are able to potentially 'engage more learners, improve the learning experience and enhance [their own] effectiveness and efficiency'.
Jisc is closely involved in the work with Educational Technology Advisory Group (ETAG) working with both the Department for Education and BIS as well as HE and FE stakeholders contributing detailed knowledge of the higher education sector to that already provided for FELTAG on FE and skills.
