eLearning and eResearch Road Show

eLearning and eResearch are ‘on the road’ – we’re off to the Central Library with one of our 3D printers and a set of iPads in tow. Our eLearning and eResearch consultants will be talking about 3D printers and examples of how they’re used for the first 15 minutes – afterwards the floor is yours. Bring your questions about getting your course ready for Semester 2 or just come along and check out our iPad class sets or the 3D printer in action.

Introduction to University Teaching

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:
