Jim Sheach, Technology Manager at The University of Edinburgh, emphasizes the importance of helping new staff feel integrated into a professional environment. He advocates for a blended approach in training, combining face-to-face interactions with online resources. As of January 1, 2014, all SCHOMS member institutions' staff are included in the InfoComm Group Member Scheme, which has made significant investments in structured online programs, webinars, and classroom courses. Continuous evaluation of training effectiveness and additional years of commitment are vital for sustained impact.
