As everyone takes a well-earned break over Christmas, just a reminder of the resources available to support you as you plan for Semester 2.

If you’re looking for ideas and inspiration, have a look at our Good Practice area. You’ll find good practice tips and examples on all areas of teaching and learning from FLIE and academic colleagues. You might also want to check out the showcase videos, created with the launch of the Digital Pedagogies Framework, which explore the use of technology in learning within the key themes of the Framework.

As well as using the Framework to focus on the design of your unit, you’ll need to think about some of the other key tasks to consider before teaching commences. You can find some useful tips in our Unit Preparation guidance or sign up for one of our Unit Preparation Basics upcoming sessions in January.

If you require general help and guidance on using Brightspace or any other digital tools, head to the Brightspace Staff Resources area. Here you’ll find step-by-step instructions on setting up and using tools, from the Academic Advisor reporting tool to Zoom. If you’re in the middle of marking, checkout the Assessment and Feedback section. And don’t forget, for general Brightspace guidance, we also have a series of Brightspace online training modules.

We look forward to continuing to support you in the new year; via your dedicated Faculty Learning Technologist, online Drop-in sessions or at some of our Education Enhancement workshops.

We wish you all a safe and relaxing break, and look forward to seeing you in 2022!

The FLIE Team
