Jisc Co-design March 2017 13/01/2017 ELN Workshop
Co-design consultation 2016-17 We want to find the next big ideas for technology in education and research: What does the imminent arrival of the intelligent campus mean for universities and colleges? What should the next generation of digital learning environments do? What should a next-generation research environment look like? Which skills do people need to prepare for research practice now and in the future? What would truly digital apprenticeships look like? How can we use data to improve teaching and learning? 13/01/2017 ELN Workshop
Next Generation Research Environment What should a next-generation research environment look like? We think it’s time to define the future of research environments and determine how such environments can support the current and future needs of researchers https://www.jisc.ac.uk/rd/get-involved/what-should-a-next-generation-research- environment-look-like General feedback - important area to tackle but we are at a very early stage of understanding the problem and potential solutions Idea – “Jisc will bring relevant experts together to identify what is required from a next generation research environment, assess existing systems and investigate whether a modular solution can support researchers throughout the whole research lifecycle.” Vote and support! Deadline 30 January 2017 13/01/2017 ELN Workshop
