Forums & User Groups
The RSC facilitates a series of forums and user groups in the region as a way for people to share ideas with peers, build links to colleagues with similar roles in other providers, explore issues of common concern, keep up-to-date with developments in the field, and draw on the knowledge and expertise of the network.
Each forum or user group has a different structure but they generally meet at least three times a year. Whilst we will continue to have face-to-face meetings we also hold some online versions using new technologies.
The current list is as follows:
- Accessibility and Inclusion
- Adult and Community Learning (ACL)
- East Midlands Information Skills (EMIS)
- Information, Advice & Guidance (IAG) Network (jointly run with EMFEC)
- Information Learning Technology (ILT)
- Heads of IT
- Learning Resources (LRC)
- MIS Network (jointly run with EMFEC)
- Moodle Users Group
- Work Based Learning (WBL)

Several of these forums are supported by an active mailing list.

Other regional forums
In addition to the forum and user groups we organise, we work co-operatively with existing forums in the region such as the forums organised by the East Midlands Additional Learner Support network (EMALS) and EMFEC - equality & diversity, international & HE, quality managers, safeguarding, staff development managers and teacher training.
