Digital Capabilities
Digital capabilities are the skills, knowledge and understanding which help us to live, learn and work in a digital society. They help us to use a variety of technologies, appropriately and effectively in different spaces, places and situations.
Hybrid Learning
Hybrid Learning is an approach where some students attend physically in the classroom, while others join virtually. Lecturers teach on-campus and online students at the same time using video conferencing, virtual classroom or webinar tools
Online Classroom/Webinars
Online classrooms and Webinars are a great way of collaborating with your students when face to face interaction is not possible. Here are the guides on what is a webinar and how to set up and run one.
Get Started with Course Resources
Course Resources is the name we use for the University’s virtual learning environment (VLE) and all its integrated systems. Our virtual learning environment is Blackboard Learn and integrates with systems like Turnitin, Panopto and Pebblepad.
Development and Training
The Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching run academic and digital practice development sessions for academic staff, programme teams, subject teams and wider groups. We can also create bespoke sessions based on your requirements.
Guides
A comprehensive range of help guides and support resources are available for Course Resources and all University supported learning systems.
