Learning and Teaching Support for Autumn 2022

Information Services are offering a series of bookable events to support learning and teaching in Autumn 2022.


Exploring digital teaching technology in learning spaces

Reduce your start of semester stress! 

Get ready for teaching on campus – join us for an informal drop-in session in one of our typical teaching rooms to: 

  • Explore, hands-on, the technology available in teaching rooms
  • Discuss your teaching plans for next year – for example, hybrid or interactive sessions – and the best ways for the technology to support you and your students
  • Bring any questions you would like to discuss 

Join Fred Philips (an advisor on technology in teaching spaces) and Academic Development Partners Susan Greig & Tanya Lubicz-Nawrocka to explore your plans for next semester.
