We would like to thank all those who entered for the VC User Group Awards this year. We had lots of great entries and it was very difficult to pick the winners!

Below are the winners for the three categories:

Best Collaboration

Shrewsbury Sixth Form College

and

Virtually University

This year, we intend to host the event at the wonderful National Space Centre, Leicester on the 27 November 2012 (http://www.spacecentre.co.uk/). Now in it's 5th year, the event is aimed at HE, FE and schools and includes an award ceremony to celebrate the innovative and collaborative uses of videoconferencing.

As part of the Development Update Tim Boundy asked delegates to take part in a quick poll to prioritise four development areas. Delegates were asked to rank the four options below in order of their preferred priority.

We would love to hear from you if you have used videoconferencing in a different or interesting way. Perhaps you have had to overcome some technical challenges that you'd like to talk about. Or perhaps you have championed videoconferencing at your institution and have been able to save money and enhance teaching and learning.

How do I get involved?

Register now to attend the VC User Group Event at the National Space Centre, in Leicester.

You can attend in person or remotely via videoconferencing. To register go to the VC User Group Event page at https://www.ja.net/events/vc-user-group
