Embracing technology for learning and teaching<\/p><\/div>\n

The TEL team has a new programme<\/a> of workshops which will give you the opportunity to test and assess new technologies before using them in the classroom, or in your work or study routine.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in using technology in your teaching but apprehensive about taking the plunge, or perhaps have seen faculty members using technologies but not yet had the chance to test them out for yourself, join the TEL team for a stimulating workshop.<\/p>\n

Bookmarks, Prezis, Padlet? If these terms are not familiar to you and you would like to learn more, please see our staff training programme<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We can help demystify new learning technologies for you and give you ideas on how to use these new and emerging tools in your teaching.<\/p>\n

Delivered by US, designed by you<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Each of the workshops has been designed in response to feedback received from staff. All sessions are designed to contain a hands-on element to allow you to try technologies for yourself, rather than watch them being used. The TEL training sessions \u00a0are a risk free environment, you can’t break anything by pressing a wrong button!<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry if you haven\u2019t heard of some of these tools before, the workshops are introductions and so are suitable for both\u00a0those who are new to technologies and those who are more confident.<\/p>\n
