Staff Development: Autumn 2024
CSM Digital Learning Staff Induction:
This Autumn we are launching our CSM Digital Learning Staff Induction sessions for all new academic and course admin staff, or current staff who feel they would benefit from an introduction to Moodle and other Digital Learning platforms.
Please note, we are keen to support all new staff in the academic teams and there is funding available for HPLs to attend.
More dates to follow! Please contact a.urry@csm.arts.ac.uk if you would like to be the first to know when new dates are released.
If you prefer a face to face session, please just get in touch.
We also strongly recommend all new staff attend our Creating accessible documents training. See below for dates.
What will the induction cover?
- Introduction to Moodle at CSM, including navigation, course pages, communication and where to find support.
- Introduction to two of the other platforms used at CSM: Miro, myblog, Padlet, Workflow, Panopto and MS Teams.
- Signposting accessibility training and further support.
- Optional follow-up sessions – 30mins session in the Spring and Summer terms to address any issues or learn something new.
Staff development week: 9-13 December
CSM sessions: Please note, bookings are via ESS.
VR at Christmas! 30min slots
Wednesday 11 December 2-4pm (book in for a 30 minute slot)
Come along to a fun, hands-on session trying out VR headsets and hopefully decorating a (virtual) tree! Slots are 30mins each with a maximum of 4 participants so we can help you step into the virtual world as quickly as possible. Spaces are limited so book soon!
Video submissions: setting up and managing effectively
Monday 9 December 2-3pm
In this session we will look at how to set up a video submission point using the Panopto plugin. Panopto is our UAL video hosting platform and is integrated with Moodle. Panopto accepts a broad range of file types and sizes, making it easier for students to submit video files. It also makes it easier for staff to review work with the inclusion of automatic captioning and removing the need to download the video file.
Using digital tools to support inclusive assessment
Friday 13 December 10-11am
In this session we will look at and discuss how simple digital tools can help improve flexibility in assessment, provide opportunities to capture learning, and help break down barriers to accessing feedback.
Cross UAL sessions: Please note, bookings are via Eventbrite.
