eLearning Training from pause week S1-2020

This guide is for support staff only.

ITaLI and Library are offering a range of professional development workshops to support staff converting courses for online delivery.  This w/c 16 March has been about converting lectures and tutes. In w/c 23 March we have four new learning designershelping us collectively deliver a focus on assessment conversion workshops.

The ITaLI eLearning team are trying to maximise the impact of limited resourcing to offer as much training in key tools as possible during pause week. 

Staff attending need to bring their own laptop with the required software installed. Only a limited number of training laptops will be available for borrowing.
