e-Portfolios are not a new concept. In various guises, digital presentations of skills and competences, online records of achievement, and action plans with opportunities for reflection have been in use in education for nearly a decade. So what is new about e-portfolios?

Drawing on the work of JISC-funded projects and other significant e-portfolio developments, it will provide a snapshot of learning enhanced by e-portfolios in higher, further and continuing education.

Is your email inbox groaning under the weight of unread messages? Are you struggling to find information because you can't remember where you put it, or recognise the title you gave it? Or perhaps you can find what you are after - but is it the most recent version or just one of many outdated copies still lurking on the server?
All staff are creating and using more information than ever before. As a result the documents, emails and spreadsheets which should be an asset helping you to carry out your daily work can rapidly turn into a liability which slows you down and makes life harder for you and those who work with you.
'Getting Your Email & Information Under Control' is a full day workshop which provides you with the skills and knowledge you need to regain the upper hand. It's a highly interactive and practical workshop where delegates get to put the skills they have just learnt into action, slowly bringing order to a chaotic mass of seemingly random and unconnected information - hopefully...

Information is critical to most of the functions of an education organisation, whether for teaching, research, administration, employment or funding. The effective operation of all those functions depends on reliably accurate information being available when it is needed by those who are authorised to see it, and is not disclosed to those who are not authorised to see it. These factors - accuracy, availability and confidentiality - are all components of information security. This course therefore takes a broad view of what is needed to achieve the necessary level of information security, concentrating almost entirely on people, processes and policies, not on computers or networks.

The JISC online conference, Innovating e-Learning 2008, is an important conference for practitioners and managers embedding e-learning into their practice. e-Learning may now have established a foothold in learning and teaching, but are the demands of delivering the curriculum restricting its innovative potential? How can we plan to ensure the best possible e-enhancement of learning in the future? These are the questions the 2008 conference will address.
The conference has two themes each running over two days and will also include guided tours in Second Life facilitated by the JISC Emerge team. During the reading weeks, the two weeks prior to the conference, there will be orientation sessions for delegates new to Second Life. An e-Learning Showcase will provide a shop window on innovative work from JISC e-Learning projects and services, and in-conference social events include a virtual fashion show. Some sessions will also make use of the Elluminate real-time web conferencing system.
The conference takes place in an asynchronous virtual environment, which can be accessed wherever and whenever is convenient to you, and is surprisingly easy to engage with.

The current generation of web browsers offer greater potential for delivering creative, engaging web content and CSS provides you with a huge range of techniques with which to exploit this. Yet learning how and when to use CSS creatively with your own content is often a challenging prospect.

Course Overview
Videoconferencing is becoming more popular as it reduces travel time, costs and environmental impact. It enables staff to maintain a better work life balance and supports the sharing of resources. Within the context of national JANET services, this course will provide a useful introduction to the technical aspects of videoconferencing.

This is supported by details of how to make the most of existing facilities and tips on ongoing management and support of users. This course will focus on good practice and technical theory, it does not cover technical configuration of videoconferencing components.
Topics Covered
Audience & Prerequisites
The course is of benefit to anyone with responsibility for setting up or managing the technical aspects of videoconferencing facilities.
All delegates must attend our ‘Introduction to Videoconferencing’ or be able to prove extensive experience in this area. Further details on this are available on our web site.
Date: Thu 1st Nov 2007
Course Overview
Videoconferencing can provide fast and cost effective access to colleagues, peers and subject experts. However the technology involved can sometimes appear daunting. The aim of this course is to prepare you for using videoconferencing by familiarising you with the equipment and addressing the issues that you may encounter. For those supporting videoconferencing in their organisation, this course will give a broad overview of what is available and how it works. Perhaps more importantly it will give an appreciation of what using VC facilities actually feels like and what the issues can be. The course will include participation in a number of short videoconferences.

After an extremely successful pilot event, Netskills launch a 3-day Access Management workshop in Edinburgh this October.
The introduction of Shibboleth and the JISC's decision to cease funding for Athens after July 2008 means that colleges and universities will shortly have to make a choice about which access management system to use. Organisations can out-source provision, however a viable alternative is to establish and manage your own identity provider server (IdP) for single-sign on access. This new 3-day workshop introduces the core skills required to establish an Identity Provider (IdP) server ready for joining the UK Access Management Federation.
"The aim of the workshop is to assist technical staff preparing their organisation for single sign on," said Netskills trainer Paul Trueman who led development of the workshop. "Understanding how the pieces of the puzzle fit together allows institutions to manage their access cost effectively and more flexibly," he added.
Feedback from the pilot event at Newcastle University was extremely positive. "The event covered a lot of ground and filled the gaps in my knowledge," said one attendee. Another added, "Coming from FE, I found the course to be very useful."
