4. How does it work?
Contact your Jisc Regional Support Centre to set up an initial
consultation to identify:-
● What staff development issues you would you like to
address?
● What questions you would like to include?
● Over what timescale would you like to carry out the survey?
● Which staff within your organisation would you like to target?
● How granular would you like the feedback report to be?
The Jisc RSC advisor, facilitates the meeting, creates the
survey, analyses the data and provides feedback and any
follow-up actions.
