Welcome to the August issue of the Vocational Learning Resources Newsletter. This month, we have a reminder about the VLR promotional materials available on our support site and a couple of upcoming Jisc events that may interest you.
Promotional Materials for VLRs
We hope that you have either already subscribed to our Vocational Learning Resources for the next academic year or will be doing so in the near future!
Remember, you can subscribe via Jisc’s Licence Subscriptions Manager (LSM) here: https://subscriptionsmanager.jisc.ac.uk/catalogue/2655
However, you may be wondering how best to promote our resources to staff and students and what types of promotional materials are available. Our support site is here to help: as well as practical information on how to use our resources, we also have a range of promotional materials that are free and available to use.
These include:
- Posters to promote the benefits of using Jisc’s Vocational Learning Resources
- Promotional video which offers an overview of key benefits and features of our services
- Introductory webinars for our Construction Training and Digital and IT Training services
- Welcome pack which can be downloaded in either PDF or Word format, printed off and shared with teaching practitioners
