Sessions are open to all staff at the University, but are likely to be of particular interest to colleagues in Education and Scholarship roles. Scholarship case studies and articles are now available on the rebranded DARE blog, with a new name,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.sussex.ac.uk\/learning-matters\/\">Learning Matters<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Details on the latest schedule of&nbsp;<strong>workshops and other staff development opportunities<\/strong>&nbsp;can be found on the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/staff.sussex.ac.uk\/teaching\/enhancement\/\">Education Enhancement website<\/a>.&nbsp;New workshops include: &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/staff.sussex.ac.uk\/teaching\/enhancement\/events\/item?id=61589\">Using Panopto in Teaching Spaces<\/a>&nbsp;(in-person, 26<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;September)<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/staff.sussex.ac.uk\/teaching\/enhancement\/events\/item?id=61724\">Assessment in an AI World<\/a>&nbsp;(in-person, 28<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;Sept \/ online, 9th October)<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/staff-stage.sussex.ac.uk\/teaching\/enhancement\/events\/item?id=61533\">Buddycheck: Getting Started<\/a> (online, 28th September)<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/staff-stage.sussex.ac.uk\/teaching\/enhancement\/events\/item?id=61680\">Getting Started with Scholarship<\/a> (in-person, 24th October)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We are pleased to announce&nbsp;<strong>Buddycheck<\/strong>, a new tool for peer evaluation, is now available for all modules thorugh Canvas.
