Or can we deliver a Digital Manifesto for Tertiary Education in Northern Ireland? » The work of Jisc underpins, and is thoroughly embedded in, the Department’s strategic vision for the NI HE sector as set out in the Higher Education Strategy – ‘Graduating to Success’: “Over the next decade, the delivery of higher education is likely to become more diversified, where elements of contact tuition are combined with technology-based training. Technological advances in the next decade will continue to influence the way in which higher education is delivered. Such advances will provide many students, particularly mature students or those engaged in employment, with new learning and training opportunities. Distance learning and online learning are likely to expand further in the future as students seek flexibility.” » Jisc is at the forefront of these technological advances which are having a substantial impact on the learning environments, research and innovation capabilities, and student opportunities available at our universities.

Editor's Notes
- #8 Among N’s many successes the introduction of the baccalaureate which provided French a standardised educational benchmark, provided access for professions and to university and ensured that educational bias towards one or either did not develop –egalitarian and revolutionary How challenged would N be in most classroom settings in our society, indeed many of our institutions? N referred to Adam Smith’s quote of English as a nation of shopkeepers and may be familiar with many of the issues besetting the UK and NI societies- low productivity, poor literacy, numeracy and digital skills and identification that Skills are part of the solution From a social capital perspective the underpinning skills lead to increased confidence, employability, educational engagement & progression, positive personal change, greater engagement in society and reduced stigma & fear.
