Keeping you informed

The RSC has several different ways of communicating with colleagues in the post-16 education and training sector. This is so that we can:
- raise awareness of the RSC and what we can offer you;
- disseminate relevant information;
- encourage greater participation and collaboration in the region.
You're already using one of our main communication tools our website, where we have a News section, but here's some information on what else we use.
We use email as a way of keeping our contacts up-to-date with relevant news, information and events. We try to keep the amount of emails to a minimum by targeting them to spcecific audiences making sure that the message gets to the right people.

JISC mailing lists
We facilitate a series of email mailing lists in the region in order to encourage knowledge sharing within the academic community. Several of these adjoin to regional forums and user groups.
These mailing lists are a good way to pose questions and get feedback from colleagues in other learning providers. RSC advisors will also send news, e-bulletins, resources and requests to the lists.
See the available lists.
RSC Newsletter
The RSC East Midlands newsletter is called "intouch" and comes out digitally, approximately every two months. The online newsletter offers a mixture of news and features, as well as the chance for readers to add their comments to articles.

Case studies
We produce case studies of best practice in e-learning from learning providers across our region. The case studies are published on the Excellence Gateway website - a one stop portal for advice, resources, news, teaching & learning materials and case studies for practitioners at all levels in the post-16 education and training sector.

- Blogs - accessibility and inclusion blog
- Twitter - news and e-learning tips
- SlideShare - presentation sharing
- Issuu - document sharing
- YouTube - our own TV channel
- Flickr - picture sharing
- Social bookmarking - Delicious case study bookmarks
