Origins of the KIS
• General dissatisfaction with information provision
for prospective students and other users
• Key recommendation of the Oakleigh Consulting and Staffordshire University Research
• Identified information that prospective students found useful:
course, costs & employability
• Identified where students look for information: HEI websites and UCAS

Proposed features of the KIS
• One KIS for every undergraduate course (a course
being something a student applies to)
• All HE courses longer than one year FTE
• Published on institution’s web-sites and accessible via UCAS
• Data renewed once a year
• Will be part of QA review

Who provides the information:
• HEFCE: NSS for course satisfaction
• HESA: DLHE for employability
• Institutions: course information, accommodation & fees/bursaries and scholarships
• NUS: students’ union

Data provided by institutions: • Five information areas needed from institutions
• Do not currently exist in easily comparable and standardised formats
• Expert Working Groups have proposed what information should be collected: – Realistic for institutions to collect–Meets the needs of users
• Recommendations piloted by seven institutions

Moving forward
• HEPSIG to consider outcomes from consultation and KIS development work - KIS mock up already out of date
• UUK and HEFCE Boards, GuildHE Exec in May
• Outcomes circular released Summer
• Key information Sets in place September 2012
• information will become subject to QAA judgement
