Finding and Using Media - Digital Essentials module
The Finding and Using Media module (part of Digital Essentials) teaches students how to write for online audiences and explores different ways to produce online content. It is designed to be embedded into courses so students can find the information they need, when they need it.
SECaTs open until 6 November
Student Evaluation of Course and Teachers (SECaTs) are now open to students until 6 November 2020. To increase response rates this semester, course coordinators should consider allowing a few minutes during class time for students to complete their surveys.
