Win an i-Pad mini!

Would you like to be in with a chance to win an i-Pad mini? Do you use Jisc MediaHub? If so, a new survey has just gone live to gather views on Jisc MediaHub:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/FKMQKVL

As part of Project Enriched Playlists, a new Jisc-funded project, Jisc is looking into how audio-visual collections in Jisc MediaHub might be developed for Higher Education (HE) into ‘enriched playlists’:

This project will help Jisc understand and document how HE would like to use and get the most out of Jisc MediaHub’s moving image, audio and stills collections.

EDINA would be grateful for your help: please do complete the survey by 13th June 2014.

All participants who submit a completed survey will be entered into a prize draw to win an iPad mini 16GB (Wi-Fi).

To find out more about the project or this survey, please contact Hetty Malcolm-Smith, Jisc Project Manager (Content), Project Enriched Playlists (020 7393 1520 /  hetty@bufvc.ac.uk).
