One of our core priorities is the expansion of licensing coverage in the areas of learning and teaching, providing institutions and Jisc members with solutions that meet sector challenges and the move to blended learning. Jisc Licensing will continue to develop and evolve its offering in this space over time.
Examples of current priorities include resources that deliver adaptable and immersive learning solutions for teachers and students. A key area of focus is around skills and employability, and priority is being given to agreements for content and resources in the following disciplines and subjects:
If your institution has specific learning and teaching requirements, or you would like to recommend in demand resources and content, this can be done by filling out the form.
The following learning and teaching agreements are available to Jisc members via Licence Subscriptions Manager. Licence Agreements are arranged by priority product and content areas (please note that some products and resources may cover more than one product category).
New webinars providing information about the available agreements and products will be shared via various Jiscmail accounts and can be found on the Jisc Events webpage. A number of webinars have been recorded for you to revisit and watch at your leisure: please see the links below.
