As part of the Digital Workplace Technologies offer, we have created 8 pathways for staff to explore. These pathways have been specifically designed to allow staff to enhance their knowledge in that area in more depth.
The pathways include:
- Digital Productivity
- Digital Communication
- Digital Collaboration
- Digital Creation
- Digital Wellbeing
- Digital Proficiency
- Digital Participation
- Digital Learning and Teaching Technologies
Focus on … Digital Creation.
Digital images, infographics, videos, presentations and photographs are just some of the ways digital creativity can be expressed. Digital creation is the ability to create, use and evaluate digital technologies, designing digital materials to present and communicate information.
These sessions aim to provide staff with the opportunity to design and create digital materials, to communicate information, to learn about new pieces of creative software and to develop new digital talents.
Upcoming Digital Creation Sessions

Infographics are visually engaging ways to present information quickly and clearly, allowing people to learn about a topic without too much heavy reading. They often contain images and charts and do not use lengthy amounts of text. Piktochart is an online program which allows the free creation of infographics.
