Audience Experts Focus Groups

In February, we held two Audience Experts Focus Groups in Birmingham. One was for librarians and information professionals, the other for (e)Learning Technologists. Issues that were explored included

• Perceptions of JISC
• Views of the current website
• Social affiliations
• JISC’s personality
• Classification and categorization of content
• Motivating factors
• “Design your own JISC page”

Here are number of whiteboard scribblings from the day that outline some of the main views of the two audiences.

What does JISC mean to you?

Initially, focus group members were asked why they had chosen to volunteer to take part and what JISC meant to them.
