You will see how they can share their achievements securely within their preferred digital platform. Guest universities and Jisc will identify opportunities and potential barriers to issuing HE digitised credentials. Enhancing VLE engagement and supporting academic efficiences with activity templates Speakers: Adam Elce, digital learning technologist, Bishop Grosseteste University James Duke, digital learning developer, Bishop Grosseteste University If you are interested in supporting academics developing engaging and effective VLE courses, whilst enhancing the student experience leading to greater engagement in content and increasing the quality of learning outcomes, this session is for you. Extending Jisc’s learning analytics platform with library data Speaker: Lee Baylis, senior analytics innovator, Jisc. Jisc’s learning analytics project nitially set out to offer business intelligence visualisations and machine learning predictions, based on student record systems data and VLE data from the dominant Moodle and Blackboard systems. In this lightning talk, Lee Baylis will give an overview of how Jisc have partnered with OCLC and the University of Gloucestershire to extract library e-resource data from the EZProxy system, which we have now added to Jisc’s learning data hub.
