The JISC Activity Data programme aims to identify how higher education institutions can use activity data to improve services and decision making through experimental projects. It will fund projects at both the institutional and national/international level to address real-world problems using activity data. The program will also support the development of skills in this area and collect business cases to demonstrate benefits to encourage institutional engagement. The overall goal is to determine where, when, and how activity data can be used by the end of this phase of the program.

5. Programme aims How is this strand changing the sector? At the end of this strand of work we will have identified where, when and how higher education institutions can use activity data to improve services or improve decision making processes and will have identified any possible shared services in this area.

6. Programme activities How will this strand bring about that change? It will fund experimental projects at both the institutional level and the national/international level. It will focus on addressing real world institutional problems using activity data It will fund benefits realisation activities to build on any developments that have wider applicability or offer efficiency savings It will support the development of institutional skills and knowledge in this area. Where appropriate it will persuade institutions to engage in this area by collecting information about business cases. That’s you That might be you That’s the synthesis
