LTA Connect: Preparing for a new era of online teaching

Resources

Presentation slides | Session recording

Session Outline

Elaine and Carolin will outline the support resources they are developing and curating to help teaching colleagues, particularly those new to the Brightspace learning environment, to move their teaching online, at least in the short term, quickly and effectively.

‘Supporting learning online’ will be available in Brightspace for all teaching colleagues in June 2020 and will continue to be enhanced over the summer in response to feedback and requests for additional support and guidance.

EDU staff are also engaging directly with programme teams across the partnership, and this session provides an opportunity for staff to find out about the support resources and to feed back on which areas of support they feel would be of value.
