Information Strategies for Higher Education and the Jisc / HESA Business Inte...mylesdanson
A look at the Jisc / HESA National Business Intelligence Service for UK Higher / Further Education and how Information Strategy development and implementation overlaps
Jisc and HESA have partnered to provide business intelligence (BI) services to the higher education sector in the UK. Their BI journey began in 2010 with road testing an initial information kit. The presentation outlines a new multi-phase joint Jisc/HESA BI service offering concise and up-to-date analyses, visualizations, and dashboards based on existing HESA data. Future phases aim to explore additional non-HESA data sources and enable peer benchmarking between institutions. The goal is to promote sector maturity in BI and bring its benefits to more staff through training and a "sandpit" environment for experimentation.
The document discusses ways to add value when attending events by actively engaging on social media during the event. It provides tips such as standing up if you attend or tweet about the event, capturing complex slides, adding side conversations, using humor, sitting near the front, linking to the agenda, selling your wares, blogging about meetings too, and announcing yourself at events. The benefits mentioned are raising your profile as an attendee, adding value to the event, promoting Jisc resources and related work, painting Jisc as an authoritative organization, and exposing different audiences to one another. The document encourages trying these engagement techniques and managing expectations, as it can be hard but gets easier with practice.

It emphasizes quantifying benefits where possible and highlighting how projects' actual changes led to their stated impacts.
Communication and collaboration in eTwinningEvi Belogia
This document provides guidance on effective communication and collaboration in eTwinning projects. It emphasizes that collaboration requires partners to contribute and rely on each other to complete activities. Synchronous tools like video conferencing and asynchronous tools like forums and blogs can facilitate communication. Setting guidelines, breaking the ice between partners, providing feedback, and engaging students in active collaborative tasks are keys to successful projects. Regular communication through Twinspace and live sessions helps build relationships and allows reflection. Integrating a variety of Web 2.0 tools maximizes interaction and participation.
Greeks celebrate Christmas through various traditions, beginning in early December. Families decorate their homes and women bake sweets. On Christmas Eve, children travel house to house singing carols and receiving treats. The Christmas feast on December 25th is a grand multi-course meal after 40 days of fasting. New Year's Day on January 1st is the main gift-giving day, as Saint Basil is celebrated instead of Santa Claus. Families eat a special Vasilopita cake with a coin baked inside, bringing luck to the finder. Christmas traditions conclude on Epiphany on January 6th with house blessings by the priest.
