We have been experiencing a targeted and sustained set of attacks on the Janet network.
These are distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks that have resulted in reduced connectivity and disruption for all Janet customers.
Various blocks and filtering are being put in place to limit the impact of the disruption, but the details of each attack are subject to change.
We have had to reduce our public updates via Twitter and the website as we suspect that this information can be used to inform attacks. We have also received a DDoS attack on jisc.ac.uk and have had to close the website until the attack is over. This has limited our communication channels with customers, but we are working to keep them informed.
Customers affected have been contacted and are being provided with up-to-date information via alternative channels.
Our engineering team and security team are continuing to work hard to ensure normal service is resumed as soon as possible, and to reduce the impact of future attacks.
Tim Kidd, executive director, Jisc technologies, said:
“We understand the importance of connectivity to colleges, universities and other public sector organisations. We are doing everything in our power to ensure normal service in resumed as soon as possible, and in the meantime to minimise any disruption that users of the Janet network may be experiencing.
"We apologise for any inconvenience caused.”

Today, Research Councils UK (RCUK) announces it has joined the national consortium for ORCID – the researcher identifier solution that enables a wide range of improvements to the scholarly communications ecosystem – and will be ready to start capturing ORCID identifiers in early 2016.
Offered by Jisc, the framework agreement will enable RCUK to access the benefits of ORCID at reduced costs and with enhanced technical support. It joins almost 50 universities to have taken up membership since the consortium launched in summer 2015.
Importantly, RCUK’s announcement follows a report by Professor James Wilsdon from earlier this year called The Metric Tide, which urged the UK research system to take full advantage of ORCID as its preferred unique 'iDs' and for it to become mandatory by the next Research Excellence Framework (REF). This sentiment was reiterated by a joint RCUK and Jisc report, highlighting ORCID as the leading standard for researcher identifiers.
Neil Jacobs, head of scholarly communications support, Jisc, said:
“Widespread uptake of ORCID by both funders and universities is central to creating a more reliable, efficient and transparent research system. We welcome RCUK’s membership to the consortium. Its decision to begin capturing ORCID iDs is an important step in improving the flow of research information in higher education (HE).”
ORCID works by providing researchers with a unique digital identity that distinguishes them from other scholars. The researcher is then able to use their iD when applying for research grants, submitting publications and any other research workflows to ensure they receive credit for their work, even if they change research organisations or leave academia.
For organisations, ORCID iDs can improve the integration of research systems and processes and support research management workflows, such as grant applications. Increased use should ultimately help to transform the management, re-use, and efficiency of the UK’s research output.
Andrew Wright, head of research funding team, RCUK, said:
“RCUK is committed to working collaboratively across the sector to realise the benefits of ORCID and sees joining the national ORCID consortium as an important step in this process. In reducing the costs and technical challenges in adopting ORCID, the consortium ensures a smoother path to ORCID implementation that should accelerate adoption in the UK.”

It’s in the news at the moment: students struggling to find work, struggling to even afford to attend colleges or universities, universities considering refunding fees if their graduates can’t find work, questions about the value of a university education and the value for money that courses offer.
At Jisc, we have been looking into the hot topic of employability and the growing ‘employability gap’: the fact that the skills students have as they leave our educational institutions aren’t meeting the expectations of employers, and that employers also want wider, softer skills as well as demonstration of knowledge and hard competencies.
This latest report identifies that our sector is missing vital opportunities to equip students with the digital skills they need in the modern workplace, and put the new talents, creativity and adaptability of today’s students to the best use in their chosen areas of work. It’s highlighted some good practice points, and makes useful recommendations.
We’ve delved into the details and fished out some of the most interesting findings and resources.
Technology is often woefully underexploited when it comes to giving students the opportunity to develop their professional skills. E-portfolios, although often put to effective use in higher education (HE) and in further education (FE), are often undervalued, and the critical factors involved in using them well aren’t as widely understood as they could be.
Rather than being used as a static ‘repository’, we should be looking into ways to use these powerful electronic tools to do more for students.
There are many excellent examples where e-portfolio tools are being fully exploited, such as the mapping of evidence to vocational competencies in an FE context and, in HE, helping learners make sense of their learning, engaging peers, mentors and employers in that process.
The University of Edinburgh's College of Art is pioneering new approaches with their use of e-portfolios with the introduction of Student-Led Individually Created Courses (SLICCs), where students design their own learning around a project such as volunteering, community or personal development, research, placement or internship. They must articulate their learning as it unfolds (aligned to the set learning outcomes), using an e-portfolio with digital artefacts. Students are better prepared for employment and can understand and articulate their employability skills.
The college’s National Student Survey (NSS) rating for assessment and feedback has transformed from being low to having the highest NSS scores in the university, and the highest in the sector for art and design.
Many students are using their portfolios to showcase themselves to employers, and the university is just about to upgrade to a version of the e-portfolio software that will allow students to access to their e-portfolio and associated resources for life at no cost.
We need to make a better case for using technology to develop employability. We need to raise digital aspirations of employers, HE and FE, and develop students as 'digital entrepreneurs' that can go on to act as agents of change for business. Digital literacy often isn’t related to employability skills, and we need to see this change to make a clear link.
There is particular potential for students to work in partnership with employers and mentors as part of their learning. Where students are engaged as agents of change as part of their learning experience, they’re not just developing crucial digital skills but improving their team working, project management and collaboration – all of which they will need as they embark upon their careers.
Creating and normalising this kind of quality learning experience will also set out the tangible benefits to employers of getting the most out of digital-savvy graduates.
The University of Greenwich uses Greenwich Connect as a vision to effect change in the university. They worked in partnership with the department of law and the department of computing and information systems to develop a bespoke virtual law clinic, which allows members of the public to submit a web-based query.
Each ‘case’ is assigned to teams of students who draft legal advice, supported by academic staff and legal professionals working pro bono.
When advice reaches an acceptable standard, it is signed off by the supervisor and emailed to the client.
When completed, records are tagged and anonymised to provide a knowledge base of case histories (complete with student comments and feedback) for future teaching, learning and research.
Social media is a thorny topic for many in HE and FE. Jisc’s report finds that social media policies are often lacking in detail, and – understandably – tend to focus on restriction.
The problem with this approach, and with central ‘IT systems’ team ownership of social media policies, is that it can inadvertently suppress the organic development of online collaboration and learning, especially for distance or online learners.
But the potential benefits for learners in using social media and cloud tools to engage with employers and alumni worldwide are great, enabling a wider, more culturally diverse and cost-effective reach than before.
The faculty of humanities at the University of Southampton enabled students to set up and run a project called ‘Mission Employable’, which included establishing an alumni network, a compulsory employability module in the first year of undergraduate courses, and a peer mentoring scheme. Each of these uses various social and collaborative media, including a team blog, a Twitter account, Panopto video and Facebook.
Students use Facebook to engage their peers and poll online to identify event ideas and to call for volunteers, event topics and feedback on events and initiatives. They use LinkedIn for their work with their alumni network; current students can also join LinkedIn groups through the employability module Blackboard site to engage with former students for advice and guidance.
Scoop.it was used to build research and profiles on HE group activity and employability and students were encouraged to create their own web spaces to showcase events and activities related to employability.
These examples give you just a flavour of the kind of in-depth, evidence-based detail in the report and are merely indicative of the huge wealth of examples, case studies which we hope will be useful to you and ultimately a catalyst for change in education.
This article draws on findings from our technology for employability report, written by Dr Peter Chatterton and Geoff Rebbeck.

A graduate trainee from Lancaster University has been named the winner of a competition to design an app that uses open data to help students at key points in their learning journey. His prize is expert support worth £5,000 from Jisc to develop his idea into a prototype.
John Lacey, who is enrolled on Ambitious Futures: The Graduate Leadership Programme for University Leadership, entered the competition – run by Universities UK (UUK) in partnership with the Open Data Institute (ODI) and Jisc – with an app concept called BookMart. This will use open data including institutional reading lists to help students locate the books they need for their course across various free and paid for sources, giving them a more cost effective route to accessing course materials.

John Lacey and Jisc chief executive Paul Feldman at the open data mashup day
To enter the competition, applicants had to submit a short video and description of their ideas for transforming the student experience using open data to Jisc’s Elevator website. Students and staff were then invited to vote for their favourite ideas.
John’s was one of six shortlisted projects to be invited to attend the open data mashup day on 17 November at Woburn House, London. Here, challenge finalists got the chance to learn and take inspiration from data experts. Sessions were led by Sir Nigel Shadbolt, co-founder of the ODI, with support from the University of Southampton, the Open University and the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA). They then formed into teams for student journey workshops to develop demo visualisations, before pitching to a panel of judges.
BookMart was commended for adding value by combining data on courses, library catalogues and booksellers, to enable students to locate the books they require in the most cost effective way. The judges were also impressed that users would be able to share and review books, and that whilst there are numerous websites for resale of textbooks, no other product of this type offering the student an holistic view is available at present.
John will now receive £5,000 worth of support from Jisc to help him to develop the idea into a prototype app.
John said:
“The open data mashup day was an amazing and immersive experience. It was an opportunity to learn from other universities and work collaboratively with developers that are considered gurus within their fields.
“It is a great achievement to have secured support from such a renowned digital technology charity, and I would like to thank Jisc for providing this fantastic opportunity.
“Given the strength of the other finalists’ ideas and pitches within the challenge, the final outcome was not one that I initially anticipated and I am ecstatic to have been chosen as the winner.
“As we move forward with establishing a working prototype, I hope that the BookMart app will play an important role in the movement towards increasingly open data across the higher education sector.”
Ian Powling, who is digital programmes lead at UUK and chaired the judging panel, said:
“John’s pitch clearly showed that he had considered how he could combine data from different sources to add value to a great product idea.”
Martin Hamilton, futurist at Jisc, and one of the competition judges, said:
“I was hugely impressed by all the ideas I saw during the challenge. Whenever we talk to students we see that they are positively fizzing with ideas and enthusiasm, and it’s great to be able to give them an opportunity to share those ideas and potentially take them further.
“BookMart in particular stood out for proposing a well-thought out solution to a universal problem faced by university students. As part of working with John to take BookMart forward, we will now be looking to engage with e-learning and library systems teams at institutions to explore making reading lists available as open data.”
The open data mashup day is part of Creating Value from Open Data, a joint project between UUK, ODI, Jisc, the National Union of Students (NUS) and several partner universities. The project team is mapping out the value proposition for open data in UK higher education, and will be producing an open data vision and roadmap for UK higher education.

South Eastern Regional College (SERC) has received a Beacon Award for a project which helps students gain essential skills, through a peer mentoring programme that supports the effective use of technology for learning, both inside and outside of the classroom.
The award for Effective Use of Technology in FE, sponsored by Jisc, was given for the BLADES programme, which helps students to gain literacy, numeracy and ICT skills as well as enhancing their digital literacy. The college also uses virtual classrooms to enable students to develop their understanding through a range of approaches, including game-based learning.
It received the prestigious Beacon Award from the Association of Colleges (AoC), the membership organisation for further education colleges. The awards celebrate colleges which demonstrate excellent teaching and innovative thinking in the further education sector in creating positive opportunities for both staff and students.
Dr Michael Malone, director of curriculum and information services at SERC, said:
"The college is delighted that the pedagogy mentoring programme – which has been completed by 400 staff – has been recognised with such a prestigious award. The benefits for essential skills tutors and their learners is evident, with achievement rates increasing by 13%, and last year there were over four million Moodle hits.
"This peer mentoring programme has been successfully rolled out across all professional and technical areas in SERC since 2008. SERC has also been able to implement this approach both nationally and internationally, in Singapore and Japan."
Pete Scott, director of Jisc group customer services, said:
“Even in the three years that we’ve been a sponsor for this award, there’s been a marked growth in the prominence of technology in the further education sector. I’m pleased to see the conversation is moving beyond technology as simply an enhancer of learning – although it certainly does this – to it being a strategic enabler delivering sustainable and effective business outcomes.
“That technology has been identified by the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills as key to leveraging successful outcomes for all in the area reviews reinforces this movement, and we look forward to supporting the optimisation of technology into the future.
“Once again we were astounded by the excellent standard of entries. All of the shortlisted applicants should be applauded in their efforts to deliver truly creative and innovative experiences, but special recognition of course must go to South Eastern Regional College.”
Roger Marriott, chief assessor for the Beacon Awards, said:
“Every year the Beacon Awards receive a large number of excellent submissions and the high standard made it hard for assessors to determine the winning application in each category.
“All the entries demonstrated the commitment of colleges to create the best possible experience for their students. South Eastern Regional College can be rightly proud to be named as the winner of the category.”
