DCDC stands for Discovering Collections, Discovering Communities. It is a cross-sectoral conference, hosted by The National Archives, RLUK and Jisc, that brings together the GLAMA sectors (galleries, libraries, archives, museums and academia) to shine a light on our shared experiences, innovations, interests and concerns. The DCDC21 Conference explored how crisis can act as a catalyst for change within libraries, archives, museums, and cultural organisations. https://dcdcconference.com/

This session focuses on a number of Jisc initiatives that respond to the emerging and evolving requirements of a post-COVID teaching and learning landscape. An accelerated shift towards online delivery of blended and hybrid tuition has implications for the way that subjects are taught and how content and collections can effectively support learning. Focusing on actions to make hidden collections more visible; making more content available that is optimised for teaching and learning; and looking at content through the lens of adult learning and reskilling.
