The Brightspace Training Review Project is an initiative beginning in September 2024 to enhance and update our educational technology training provision in IT Services. This project aims to create a cohesive, up-to-date, and efficient training programme that empowers staff to feel confident and supported in using our tools to deliver digital learning. The initiative will focus on ensuring that comprehensive resources are available, addressing the specific needs of our academic community through both live training sessions and on-demand training resources.
As the use of digital technology continues to expand in education, from our Brightspace VLE to our range of integrated tools, it's important that our colleagues feel confident and supported in their use of educational technology. By reviewing and updating our training, we aim to create a more cohesive and effective support system for all users of our educational technology tools, from beginners to advanced users.
We value your input! Throughout this project, there will be opportunities for colleagues to contribute to the project. Your participation will help ensure that our training programme meets the diverse needs of our academic community. Stay tuned to this webpage for updates and announcements on how you can get involved and make your voice heard in this important initiative.
