Accessibility and your Unit Design

In this workshop we look at some approaches and techniques to make sure your Brightspace units are inclusive and accessible for all students; from clear unit structure and accessible learning materials to best practice with videos and utilising Brightspace’s accessibility checker.

Approaches to Asynchronous Delivery

With the move to online teaching, gaining and keeping the student’s engagement has become a lot more important and also a lot more difficult. In this session we will look at some of the ways in which asynchronous content can be delivered and best practice ideas to address engagement and improve the student experience.

Collaborative Learning with MS Teams

Discover how you can use MS Teams to easily communicate with colleagues and students, with some best practice ideas on how it can be used for teaching and learning.

Collaboration and Co-creation with Padlet

Getting the most out of Panopto

A walk through demonstration exploring Panopto to enhance your teaching materials, paying particular focus to adding additional content to enhance the student experience, editing recordings and making this available within your Brightspace content area

Delivering Live Sessions with Zoom
