How can we help you?

Your Faculty Digital Education Enhancement Team can provide support for a wide range of needs and enquiries:
Project-based support needs, such as:

  • A new digital element for your module e.g. “This topic/aspect often does not engage students, can you develop a digital solution with us?”
  • A shared teaching resource e.g. “We all teach this, can we make a resource we can all use?”
  • Bespoke digital needs or suggestions e.g. “How can we help our students create appropriate shared data sources?”

Contribution needs, such as:

  • How can we transform our program with digital pedagogy? e.g. “How can digital pedagogy flip the teaching in this program to focus on skill-building in f2f time?”
  • How can digital support strategic educational change? e.g. “How can digital pedagogy contribute to our Curriculum Redefined activity?”

Ad-hoc support needs, such as:

  • Queries about using a digital tool e.g. “How can I use Padlet to support this type of learning?”
  • Using digital tools in your module e.g. “We need a digital portfolio approach – how do we make that work?”
  • Training needs e.g. “Can you teach my team how to run stimulating online seminars?”
