  1. Key Information Set

  2. What is KIS? • Provides prospective students with comparable information to help them select their chosen degree and place of study • Covers undergraduate degrees open for entry in 2013/14 • Degrees are categorised into KIS Types • KIS info will be available online, replacing Unistats and on other comparison websites - egWhich • Information comes from NSS, DLHE, HESA and UCAS • Institution provides information on Teaching & Learning, Assessments and Accommodation

  3. Local Web Requirements • A KIS widget is embedded in the institution’s webpages - eg programme pages on the undergraduate prospectus • The institution can’t make changes to the widget directly, or to the technical specification of the widget. • The widget links to a external KIS record which in turn links back to further information on the institution’s website – eg about accommodation, fees, assessment types • Such links are at the institution’s discretion – at UoA will be a mixture of existing pages and new content

  4. The KIS Widget is presented on degree programme webpages with headline figures and a link to the full KIS data.

  7. IWMW KIS • Head of Software Development at HESA • The Key Information Set (KIS) is a mandatory UK-wide collection of data that will assist potential students in their decision-making when applying for an undergraduate course. In this talk, Andrew will outline what information is covered, where it comes from, how it gets updated, how it will be integrated into institutions' websites, how potential students will access the information and how the complete set of data will be available to the general public under an open licence.
