>To meet the Government's Widening Participation agenda there are some
>challenges involved in the provision of resources and support for higher

>such as the funding, quality control, sharing of electronic resources and
>student support are key to ensuring that these students aren?t
>disadvantaged. The workshop will look at current provision and how students
>could be supported in the future. It will also look at the sharing of
>resources between institutional partners in FE and HE through shared systems
>such as Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) and the implications for
>administering such systems to ensure appropriate access and security.
>
>This workshop aims to air some of these issues and obtain feedback from
>participants on what JISC can do to help HE students who are studying in FE.
>The workshop is free of charge, but delegates will be expected to play a
>full part in the discussions during the day and make recommendations to JISC
>and other organisations on taking this area of work forward.
>
>The workshop will be of interest to the DfES, Government agencies, heads of
>support services (libraries, learning resource centres, IT), HE
>co-ordinators, senior administrators, heads of departments and other senior
>staff in universities or colleges.
