Institutional ICT
The use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) has already had a revolutionary impact on research, learning, teaching and educational support services in educational institutions. Senior decision-makers are now looking beyond the application of individual technological tools to explore how digital technologies might actually drive strategies for organisational change.
JISC is responding to the key concerns of senior managers in Further and Higher Education to help them meet the current and future challenges they face, such as extending the reach of their institution beyond traditional boundaries, creating an agile and sustainable infrastructure, and achieving excellence in education and research.
