Learning Technology Training
The Learning Technology Team within Library and Learning Services provides extensive support and development opportunities across the University. As part of this, a range of training opportunities are available to staff.
We offer training on a wide range of tools and subject areas, from the use of video in learning and teaching, to more effective use of NILE and other web tools. As well as scheduled training sessions, we also offer bespoke training, and encourage you to get in touch with us to arrange a 1:1 session, or a group session for you and/or your colleagues.
We are always looking to improve our training provision, so if you have feedback on a session you've taken part in, or a new technology for us to investigate and provide training on, please let us know.
You can contact the Learning Technology Team on ext 2696 or via email at LTSupport@northampton.ac.uk.
Learning Technology Fridays
Every Friday, a member of the Learning Technology Team will be at either Park or Avenue Campus to deliver a session as part of the month's themed events.
On the first and third Fridays of the month we will be in the CTC (MB6) at Avenue Campus.
On the second and fourth Fridays of the month we will be in the T-Pod (Park Library) at Park Campus.
Laptops will be available at both of the venues.
Each session will begin with a thirty minute mini session on a specific theme, after which time there will be an open session in which staff can discuss any aspects of NILE and technology enhanced learning. If you would like to come along to one or both of the sessions, please just turn up - there is no need to book.
