Student eLearning guides are moving
On 18 November student eLearning guides will be moving to eLearning as part of a UQ Library web site update. Old guide links will automatically redirect to the new guide location for one year. This will mean all Learn.UQ guides will be conveniently held in one location.
HEDx Tickets available for staff
As part of Teaching and Learning Week HEDx will be running the ‘Future Solutions for Higher Education Conference.’ It is a great opportunity to engage with speakers from across the globe on the key challenges and opportunities affecting the higher education sector. Complimentary tickets are still available.
