The UK's Joint Information Systems Committee has announced the launch of a free online seminar series in which experts will lead discussions and share advice on technology issues for education and research.
The regular ‘webinars’ will be short sessions of 45 minutes to 1 hour focused on providing practical advice on topical issues and participants can join the session without having to travel anywhere, using just a computer, headset and internet connection.
Interested parties may register now for the first webinar in the series on how to meet the research data challenge on October 12, 2011 at noon. The webinar will share advice from Sarah Porter, JISC’s head of innovation, and Simon Hodson, JISC’s programme manager. Sarah and Simon will give an overview of the key points for universities on managing research data, then discuss what managers can do now and how JISC can help.
The following seminar on ‘Curriculum design – changing the paradigm’ on November 2, 2011, at 2pm, will discuss how to join up information about different courses, and how to engage stakeholders in the curriculum.
