Digital education drop-ins

Our drop-in sessions are your chance to talk to the team and ask any questions you have regarding the move to online teaching. We’ll be available to provide you with hands-on support for any queries or issues you are experiencing, or to put you in touch with someone who can help.

The sessions are open to all academic or administrative staff. See our events page for dates and times.
