Are You Ready?
Posted by admin on October 3rd, 2007
Encouraging institutions to join the UK Access Management Federation, regardless of the technology choice made, is the priority for my team at the moment. We will shortly be writing to all Vice Chancellors and Principals to highlight both the importance and the ease of joining the UK federation, and to support this I was asked to categorise all HE institutions in to groups according to their current readiness to make this move.
It seems silly not to generally share this information for a variety of reasons - but most importantly to make sure that we have a good understanding of the status and position of each HE institution. All of the information we have compiled in based on previous contacts and discussions, but might not reflect the true status of an institution. The following posts summarise the position that we think institutions have reached - and we are incredibly keen to hear from each and every HE institution in the UK to make sure that we have got this right!
Two final points:
- many thanks to the 56 HE institutions that have already made the move and joined the UK federation - you can relax.
- we haven’t forgotten FE, and will shortly be announcing some new measures to support uptake for FE institutions.
