'JISC infoNet resources are made highly relevant to the educational sector because of the examples and case studies that they include.'
JISC infoNet is an advisory service funded by the Joint Information Systems Committee. It provides support for managers in the post-compulsory education sector to promote effective strategic planning, implementation and management of information and learning technology to support learning, teaching, research and business processes.
The service is based in Newcastle upon Tyne on the campus of Northumbria University.
Service Aims
The JISC infoNet service:
- synthesises and disseminates information about new developments and their strategic implications, particularly the outcomes of JISC development programmes
- provides an authoritative source of good practice models and guidance based upon the synthesis of proven experience within the sector
- helps institutions embed good practice and build capacity in the sector through the provision of high quality targeted staff development
- supports enhancement of core educational activities through use of technology and by encouraging the sharing of knowledge, expertise and experience with an emphasis on addressing human and organisational barriers
infoKits
infoKits are the main online resources provided by JISC infoNet. These good practice approaches to planning and implementing information systems are complemented by applied infoKits which use the generic models and look at how they can be applied to specific situations of current interest.
The service also runs workshops to complement the online materials, works closely with JISC's development team to disseminate project and programme outputs and helps embed tried and tested models within the sector.
