JISC CETIS Events

Date: 22 Feb 2012 - 23 Feb 2012
Location: Nottingham, United Kingdom | National College for School Leadership

In 2001 Michael Lewis published his seminal book “Next: The Future Just Happened” which considered the impact evolving technology would have on all aspects of our lives.

Ten years on technology offers incredible opportunities for teaching and learning and how our educational institutions function. But 2012 will also be a time of unprecedented change in Higher Education in the UK. September will see students funding their own way through university, and universities operating in a new market place.
This year’s JISC CETIS conference will explore the future technological challenges and opportunities for our education system.

A delegate list is available here.

Date: 07 Mar 2012
Location: Maple House, Birmingham
This will be an open meeting to bring together people who share a desire to increase the availability, access and reuse of vocabularies (code or term lists etc) in machine-readable forms and published to persistent locations on the web. It is being organised in association with the Vocabularies SIG of the Information Standards Board for education, skills and childrens services.

Attendees, who will have an interest in practical action, will generally fit into at least one of three categories: people who have vocabularies they wish to make more available; people who need existing vocabularies to expressed in an appropriate technical format; people with the technical expertise to realise the vision.

Please see the agenda for more information.

Since a per-person cost is entailed, a limited number of places have been pre-booked so please contact me if either you need to withdraw or the meeting is showing full.
