New

Blended teaching using online technologies will enrich and modernise your course delivery, but it requires technical mastery of new applications such as Microsoft Teams.

You will learn, or gain an insight, into:

• Requesting and structuring a team for a new student cohort
• Arranging meetings with your students
• Increasing student collaboration using Chat and Posts
• Sharing your screen and presenting PowerPoint
