    Professional Development Workshops

    LEaD runs a termly programme of professional development workshops covering different aspects of educational technology.

    The workshops introduce new staff to our educational technologies and offer refresher or top-up training to existing staff.  Our programme of workshops on Moodle will introduce you to the VLE, show you how to create and update a module, how to select the best assignment tool, create and grade assessments. While many of the sessions concentrate on Moodle, we also offer training on systems such as Zoom, Poll Everywhere and Lecture Capture, as well as how to make your teaching accessible.

    Most of our sessions take place on Teams but we also offer in-person, hands-on training on the presentation podiums in the teaching spaces.

    The calendar of workshops (right) is regularly updated. Select the workshops for full details and to book your space.

    Professional Development Workshop Recordings

    If you can't make it to any of our synchronous sessions, LEaD regularly records its workshops and makes them available to help you plan for online teaching and to increase your confidence in using educational technology to engage and support students.

    Explore our sessions and other screencasts in our A-Z listings of recordings.

    LEaD Writing Group

    Are you interested in blogging, but not sure where to start? Never quite manage to find the time to sit down and do that piece of writing you’ve been putting off? This message is to let you know about the monthly LEaD Writing Group and invite you to join us.

    Since 2016, we’ve run an informal writing group within LEaD that focuses on support for blogging and giving participants some time and space to catch up on a little writing. Experienced bloggers, those new to it, or those thinking about starting one – all are welcome, as are those just looking for a quiet half an hour to finish off a paper or something.

    At the moment, we have taken the decision to shift these events online. We will review whether to continue with these sessions online (or resume face to face meetings) depending on how circumstances change. One advantage of running the session online is that we may be able to bring in some external guests. We also hope that the format might enable more people to take part in the sessions.

    You can find regularly updated details of days, times and provisional topics on the LEaD events calendar and filtering for Blog Wirting.
    Please fill in the sign up form if you would like to be added to our mailing list and we look forward to seeing some of you in the autumn.

    Before we start, you can browse previous posts to find out some of what we’ve covered in previous sessions
