Business & Community Engagement
Netskills completed two JISC-funded projects related to Business and Community Engagement (BCE) within higher education. BCE, which is also referred to as the 'Third Stream', covers a wide range of non teaching and research activities in higher education, including collaborative projects with local industry, public lectures, knowledge transfer, student placements and campus art galleries and theatres.
Online Training
This project adapted Netskills training materials to create online resources specifically for the BCE sector. The resources outline how to exploit new technologies to create websites that engage users, as well as to enhance continuing professional development provision.
Social Software for BCE
In collaboration with JISC Infonet, we investigated the potential uses of social software in the BCE sector. The feedback gathered from a national survey and interviews informed the development of an online 'infokit' on social software, which includes guidance and case studies.
