Every year the Higher Education Development Centre holds a day for staff new to University teaching (they may be new to the University, or just new to teaching). If you’re a new staff member, welcome!
During the day eLearning will present an overview session on the services that we provide to support teaching. As we now provide a growing list of services, it’s not practical to go through each in detail in the time we have available, so we hope to provide a jumping-off point. A couple of key resources to refer to are the two “Toolboxes” – online resources which allow you to find out more information about teaching and research services:
In response to some questions during the session, here are a couple of additional resources:
Some of the services that I’ll mention in the session also have information on this blog – have a look in the menu to find an overview of our LMS (Blackboard), Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, Lecture Recording, iPad Loans, and Unitube.
I’ll also be talking about something quite new – 3D Printing. This hasn’t (yet) been included in the eLearning or eResearch Toolboxes. However, you can explore the resources on this blog, or have a look at the following links which I may mention at the session:
- Thingiverse – online repository of 3D objects to print
- Sketchup Make – application for creating 3D objects
- BodyParts3D – online repository of 3D body parts
- Sculptris – application for sculpting 3D objects
