We are hosting an event that can help you achieve your goals in teaching on:
Monday 11th November, in Babbage 402, from 12 – 2pm
Your local Academic Support, Technology & Innovation (ASTI) Team consists of Learning Technologists, Information Specialists (Librarians) and Digital Skills Developers.
Learning Technologists Rebeccah Freeman, Flea Palmer (Arts) and Edd Bolton (Education) can advise about how technology can enhance learning – the focus being pedagogy.
Your Information Specialists are Amanda Russell, Ian Rayment (Arts) and Julie Moody (Education). Not only do they teach your student about information literacies, they also advise on digital and physical library resources that can support your course, such as Aspire and BoB, and provide copyright advice.
Digital Skills Developers: IT training is a University-wide service for staff to make you more effective when using your computer. During this event they will be represented by Liz McGregor, who can tell you about the courses available, one-to-one support, bespoke training and online training videos to support your development.
There will be opportunities to talk to our TIS Business Partner, Tash Harden, who is the liaison person between Faculty needs and the University’s technology provision. AMSYS, who provide Apple technical support from 09:00 – 17:00 and are based on campus, and with fellow practitioners, Steve Wheeler, Oliver Quinlan and ADTL Steve Butts.
You can also have a play with iPads, cameras, clickers and any other tech we can get our hands on…
We’re here to support you so come along and chat with us – ideas, issues, rants and raves, we’re all ears!
…and we’ll provide tea, coffee and cakes :o)
