Jisc, the UK's leading digital organization dedicated to tertiary education and research, will join forces with Independent Higher Education (IHE) to bolster digital transformation efforts in the independent education sector. Independent Higher Education, the representative body for independent higher education in the UK, has recognized the need to accelerate digital evolution and address key challenges faced by institutions, educators, and learners.
The collaborative initiative between Jisc and IHE aims to foster digital transformation by offering a series of workshops designed to tackle pressing sector-specific issues. These workshops will address critical areas such as cyber-security, the development of digital skills, and data analytics.
IHE identified knowledge gaps in these domains as significant obstacles to effective digital transformation within the independent education sector. In response, Jisc has been enlisted to provide its expertise, guidance, and a range of relevant services.
The first step in this partnership is the launch of an introductory event, the 'launchpad,' where participants can gain insights into Jisc's offerings. This online webinar is scheduled for Wednesday, September 13, 2023.
Registration for upcoming IHE-specific Jisc events can be completed through Eventbrite.
