Staff Development Programme – Developing Digital Excellence
Calling all staff, dust off your keyboard (sorry maybe taking the spring cleaning pun too far..)
Staff from across Learning Services are delivering sessions this month around a number of themes. There are three sessions from our Digital Practitioner series – maybe you might want to start with the essentials skills in Learning Edge and then follow up with sessions looking at enhancing the online experience for your students using podcasting and also, how you can further support your students in a very positive way by using the tracking tool within Blackboard.
