Over the past few years we have delivered a range of training sessions covering most aspects of Blackboard, Turnitin, and other elearning tools. Below is a list of the sessions we deliver regularly. The training sessions are open to all academics and support staff in the Faculty. Details of forthcoming dates will be posted as and when they are arranged.
In the meantime, if you feel that you and your colleagues may benefit from a structured session covering one of more of these topics, please get in touch. We can shape any of these generic sessions to deliver exactly what you require, either as standalone short workshops or combined into longer sessions.
