Using Jisc definition - anything which helps staff and students to live learn and work in university to achieve those goals

Categorize - which resources can fit into the 6 main categories and then the 15 sub elements

Digital well being and helping international students are underpopulated

Curate - used Linked In learning and uptake was low - people dont know what they need. Trying to create a personalised learning path - create an inhouse version of the digital capability discovery tool. Creating an account for life and all the data stays with them for life - alumni - all the data follows them through the life time of the data - can track the data for students to follow them through the life. How personalised is this? A company monitoring Job roles, and other data to inform the personalisation of the tool they are creating utilising data sources across the university.

Create - with the data some are duplicated, where there are gaps create new content.
