Jisc is delighted to have been selected by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) as one of the first ten projects to participate in the beta phase of its Sandbox.
Higher education (HE) professionals will discover the power of data dashboards in a new continuing professional development (CPD) service launching this month. Catherine O’Donnell, who has already sampled analytics labs as a beta service, describes how the programme benefited her.
Implementing a learning analytics system across all higher education institutions in Wales provides a model for the opportunities for such services at a national scale.
How can higher education institutions (HEI) best embrace technology to benefit staff and students? A theme that emerged at Digifest 2019 was the need for humans and technology to support one another.
This event is the first of two events held every year to share the work of the student experience team at Jisc and offers opportunities for feedback and consultation on current activities.
With Jisc’s learning analytics service going live last summer, we caught up with some of the people who are part of the community of practice shaping the service, to find out how implementation is going and what learning analytics is adding to their university.
There are many positive arguments for the use of data in education, but data collectors have a responsibility to ensure it really does benefit students and their institutions.
Our learning analytics service offers a series of rapid, flexible visualisations about students’ learning activities and about how the curriculum is functioning.

Universities and colleges are having to adapt their policies and processes to meet the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
The government has signalled its ambition of realising the untapped potential of technology across the education ecosystem - we fully support those aims.
Wales’ eight regulated higher education institutions have agreed to collaborate with Jisc to use learning analytics to improve student support and learner outcomes.
If data about struggling students is to be used in a way that supports their mental wellbeing rather than harms it, what kind of data do learners want to see and what actions do they want it to trigger? We find out from projects that have talked to their students to discover just that.
In the highly-competitive environment we’re all working in now, how do you make important, potentially transformative decisions? You can’t go with your gut feeling or just do what you’ve always done, and even making a calculated guess is risky. This is why more and more organisations are putting their data to work to help them make better, carefully thought-out choices. We can help you do the same.
Learning occurs as the result of interaction between learners and their environment. When the learning has a planned outcome, it becomes a purposeful activity that requires the artistry and skill of a learning designer.
