How to join

The WISERD Education Data Lab have established a user group for those who are occasional or regular users of education administrative data in Wales . The aim of the group is to provide a forum for users to share questions, advice and information about education administrative data. To enable this the Data Lab have established an email forum that users can subscribe (and unsubscribe from). This allows users to send and receive email messages to and from the rest of the group with ease. Furthermore, the jiscmail service we are using archives all email messages that members can search and access.
In addition to the email subscription service the WISERD Education Data Lab is committed to organising face to face meetings of the User Group and putting on workshops on using education administrative data over the next few years.

Instructions to subscribe and unsubscribe from the user group are below. The User Group is likely to be quite small so we are not expecting many emails to be circulated. But if the service begins to be frequently used then we would advise setting up a folder in your email account to automatically filter messages in to. Although anyone who uses education administrative data can join the User Group email list the WISERD Education Data Lab remains the moderator to ensure membership is only granted to credible users and that the email service is used appropriately.

 

The jiscmail email address for this group is WISERD-WEDUG@JISCMAIL.AC.UK

And the list homepage for the User Group is available at www.jiscmail.ac.uk/WISERD-WEDUG
