JISC Winter Fayre – a celebration of all that JISC Services and your local Regional Support Centre has to offer the further and higher education communities.

Whether you’re a lecturer looking for new ways to engage your students; a librarian searching out the latest online resources; or a manager seeking up-to-date information on the use of e-Learning technology in colleges and universities, the Fayre will have something for you.

This free one-day event features;

• the launch of the Electronic Training Needs Analysis IV (ETNA IV) Report
• workshops on the latest Web 2.0 services
• demonstrations of how open source solutions can transform teaching & learning
• helpdesks to answer your individual queries
• practical sessions on e-Assessment, mobile learning, and more
• technology that you can take away and use immediately*

* All attendees will receive a copy of the award-winning EduApps portable suite of applications on a 2GB USB drive, which can be used to collect examples of the latest software and information from the JISC Services throughout the day.

Keynote speakers will cover three important issues:

• how to make the most of emerging technologies
• learner expectations
• how JISC services can help you achieve your aims

If you’re available in the evening of the 14th, then why not come along to the JISC Services cheese & wine reception? We’d be delighted to share a glass of wine with you before the big day.
