Once again this semester FLIE will be running weekly face-to-face drop-ins in FG04 to support staff with some of the digital tools you have access to for teaching and learning. We’re focusing on a different theme each week so bring along your questions in person to FG04 on the following days and times:
Preparing your Units for Semester 2
If you’d like some guidance on getting your units set up for Semester 2, maybe you just need a quick reminder of how to copy content from other units or copy Panopto lecture recordings across, then pop along on Tuesday 10th January 2-4pm or Thursday 12th January 1-3pm and someone will be available in the room to answer your questions and demonstrate Brightspace to you.
Upcoming programme
| Date and time | Title |
| Tues 31st Jan 13.00-14.30 | Attendance checkin with Jisc Learning Analytics
If you’re teaching L0 or L4 students this semester, this session will serve as a reminder of how to create and capture attendance online using the Data Explorer platform as part of the extended pilot. |
| Wed 8th Feb 13.30-14.30 | Panopto lecture capture
Would you like some help with using Panopto for recording? are you confused by which camera or microphone you should choose? Come and practice in the room with an LT on hand. |
