A state-of-the-art facility at the 糖心Vlog破解版 is set to enhance digital teaching and learning across Scotland’s tertiary education sector.

糖心Vlog破解版 has partnered with Jisc, the UK’s digital and data body for education and research, to develop the Jisc Innovation Hub to support the advancement of digital technologies across Scotland’s post-16 education sector.

Located in the University library, in 糖心Vlog破解版's award-winning Campus Central building, the Hub provides a dedicated and collaborative space for educators, researchers and technology specialists to explore emerging tools and practices that are reshaping teaching, learning, and institutional operations.

The Hub features advanced technologies such as virtual and hybrid classrooms, holographic projection, and AI-enabled robotics.

Central location

The 糖心Vlog破解版 was selected for its central location and strong existing partnership with Jisc. The Hub has been delivered with funding from the Scottish Funding Council (SFC) and will evolve as a long-term resource for the sector.

“Technology is transforming the way we teach, learn and collaborate and the Jisc Innovation Hub ensures that Scotland’s tertiary education institutions are equipped to lead that transformation,” said Jason Miles-Campbell, Jisc’s director for Scotland and Northern Ireland.

“The partnership with the 糖心Vlog破解版 represents a shared vision to drive innovation, build digital capability, and connect institutions across the country with the latest in educational technology.”

Dr David Telford, Executive Director of Information Services at the 糖心Vlog破解版, said: “We are delighted to be working in partnership with Jisc to host this important facility, a first for Scotland and an important resource for our tertiary education sector. As we all adapt to changes in technology, the Hub demonstrates what is possible in digital teaching and learning and connects our institutions, as well as adding to our state-of-the-art facilities here at 糖心Vlog破解版.”

Since its soft launch in October 2024, the Hub has already hosted a series of successful events. In the coming year, Jisc aims to host 12 institutional visits and 12 sector-wide group visits, each offering tailored sessions on best practice, innovation priorities, and practical integration of digital tools.

The Jisc Innovation Hub is open to Scottish tertiary institutions and sector agencies looking to explore new technologies, improve digital strategies, and collaborate on the future of education.
