resource-sharing siteJorum is a strategic tool, supported nationally by Jisc, to enable efficiencies across the Further and Higher Education sectors.
The new FE and Skills Window project, run by To provide teaching practitioners within the Further Education
and Skills sector with simple, flexible and easy to navigate routes
to Jisc digital content, such as...
that is directly relevant to their curriculum, qualifications and
working practices.
The new FE and Skills Window project, run by
“From my experience as an FE advisor
for a Jisc RSC I know that when
providing content to FE practitioners it
needs to be organised by their
teaching subject and level...by
providing content mapped to FE
curriculum should reduce the current
minefield of content available to the
sector".
Judy Bloxham, Jisc RSC FE Advisor
How?- Developing a Jorum Window onto FE
content- By asking the community what they
need- Developing tools based on needs e.g. Moodle plugins- Learning from successful services – e.g. those services mapped to curriculum have very high usage
