JISC RSC YH Exchange News

Hello, I’m Christine Sowden, the Information Officer at the JISC Regional Support Centre for Yorkshire & Humber. Welcome to our new e-bulletin blog: RSC YH Exchange. You’ll find that the e-bulletin is now much more user-friendly, with all posts categorised so that you can quickly get to the information most useful to you and a search function will help you find information much easier aswell. The category ***HOT NEWS*** is for those short on time, featuring only the most important and note-worthy posts. Another new development is that each post can be heard as a podcast. We’re also much better looking, with pictures and videos added to the usual mix of all the latest news and events in e-learning around the region.

Rather than the weekly post, we will now be posting information as soon as we receive it – so it’s important to keep checking the e-bulletin blog regularly to catch all the updates. You’ll see a list of all the most recent posts in the right hand column. But it’s now easier to stay in touch. You can bookmark this page to your favourites or, to make things even easier, RSC YH Exchange has an RSS feed and we would encourage you to subscribe to this which will deliver all updates directly to you. All you need is a reader, which you can get from Yahoo and Google (amongst other providers) and then follow the link in the right hand column underneath our logo to subscribe. An RSS feed will automatically send all new posts to your reader so that you won’t miss a thing. You’ll notice that we’ve included the JISC news RSS feed on the blog which automatically updates with each new post from JISC. For more help on how to set up a reader for RSS feeds – it’s quick and simple, honest! – follow the link in the right hand column or contact us on support@rsc-yh.ac.uk or 0113 343 1000.

This is your bulletin so please leave comments on posts that have been particularly useful to you – or if you have something to add to an article. We welcome your contributions so if you have anything you would like to feature on RSC YH Exchange blog, contact me on support@rsc-yh.ac.uk. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the makeover and get in touch!

Christine
