About the JISC CETIS SIGs

• SIGs enable people to
• Meet other people working on similar projects /
  dealing with similar issues / using the same
  educational technology specifications
• Avoid re-inventing the wheel by liasing with
  people who have previously worked on similar
  projects / issues / specs
• Develop useful collaborations with others trying
  to do similar things in their institutions /
  organizations
• Keep aware of news, events and developments in
  the area they are working in
• Present their work to others
