Throughout the year, we provide continued professional development (CPD) opportunities which are free to attend and open to all staff at the university.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our training sessions are designed and delivered by our team of learning technologists to help staff meet the ambitions and goals of the university. To coincide with the assessment period and start of term, our programme for January has a focus on using the tools to mark assessments online, preparing your Canvas module sites and using the presentation equipment in teaching spaces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Details of the programme, including fuller descriptions, dates and booking information are\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">available on the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sussex.ac.uk\/tel\/workshops\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Workshops and events<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> page of the Technology Enhanced Learning website. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here are some of the highlights and recommendations from our programme.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Extend your use of technology in your teaching practice<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Integrating the best of the web into your Canvas site<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> &#8211; find and embed high quality, interactive tools into your online site.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Canvas Quizzes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> &#8211; Quizzes can be great for concept checking, revision and assessment.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Recommended for new or returning members of staff<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Canvas Fundamentals<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> &#8211; an introduction to the University&#8217;s new online study platform.

Webinars are designed to provide a more flexible, bite-sized and accessible offering for those who cannot attend scheduled times or commit to longer sessions. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sessions are delivered online and include a short presentation followed by a discussion. If you book for a webinar you can participate live or catch up with a recording after the session. Each session lasts roughly 30 minutes and will be delivered during lunchtime. Themes for January include Canvas peer assessment, Canvas groups, Poll Everywhere and the Canvas app.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>What\u2019s next?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We are in the process of organising a new programme to run throughout teaching term 2 with a focus on accessibility, emerging technologies and innovative assessment. This programme is set to be announced close to the start of February.
