The scene will be set with presentations from Dr Sue Pawley and Dr Tim Lowe from the Open University, who have substantial experience of teaching students online and supporting students remotely. There will be case studies from attendees, and discussion of opportunities and challenges when providing mathematics and statistics support online. The day will also include hands-on workshops using various online tools.

This promises to be a fascinating day, and places are limited, so early booking is recommended. We are most grateful to the Academic Skills Team at Staffordshire University for hosting the day.
