Learning Design Week
Ever wondered what other people are doing in their courses?
Academic staff across our institution are meeting the opportunities and challenges of blended and online learning in different ways. During Learning Design Week, staff from the Centre for Teaching and Learning will run sessions showcasing what staff from different faculties and schools are doing in their courses and Blackboard sites.
Sessions will cover common course design issues with a particular focus on blended learning and using tools available in the virtual learning environment.
