Are you sitting comfortably? Start your dissertation the easy way!
Are you getting ready to start your dissertation? Here is an opportunity to learn some new skills in a place that suits you!
Not finding the results you require when searching online, on the library catalogue or journal databases? Then you need to attend the live webinar to gain some new skills which will improve your search strategy.
The session is called “Finding information for your dissertation” and will run online using Blackboard’s webinar tool Collaborate. You will need to book your place at least 24hrs prior to the session and ensure that you have set up your PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone to access the session. Once you are booked onto the session you will be sent all the information you need to get set up. Please contact us by email if you are having any issues or phone the Learning Services Helpdesk on 01695 584286.
We will look at why information skills are important, systematic planning for conducting a search and managing the search process and results. This will be demonstrated via application sharing and web tours.
Participating in online webinars is a recognised digital skill for continued professional development, so it is well worth attending just for the experience!

Tomorrow’s World: #EHUGetConnected Roadshow
We hope you enjoyed the previous roadshow events we hosted at the end of January. We’re happy to announce the next event which will take place tomorrow (Tuesday, 25th Feb 2014) in the Student Hub (Ormskirk Campus) between 11am-2pm.
If you haven’t been to see us at any of the previous #EHUGetConnected events, why not come down and see us tomorrow with any issues or questions you might have? The aim of the roadshow is to demystify some of the things you’ve heard about but don’t know how to use, so you can get the best out of resources such as Learning Edge (Blackboard), the campus Wi-Fi (eduroam), any mobile apps and electronic library resources.
For staff and students working off campus or are unable to attend, you can contact us during the event (and beyond) via our social media channels: Facebook and Twitter. We’ll be using the #EHUGetConnected hashtag so if they have something to say or a question to ask about using technologies for your studies, they can get in touch.
If you are passing, why not take time to pop in and talk to us or have a look at our freebie giveaway, who knows what you might discover!

Learning Technology Development Officer
