technology is what we can learn to do

‘I don’t know how to build and power a refrigerator, or program a computer, but I don’t know how to make a fishhook or a pair of shoes, either. I could learn. We all can learn. That’s the neat thing about technologies. They’re what we can learn to do.’ Ursula le Guin (2004)

 

Our Learn VLE has been rolled over and all new courses for the whole next academic year have been created in the new template and are now ready to be populated. This has been done more than a month earlier than normal to give people more time to build their courses. Staff should begin to rebuild their courses as soon as possible.

School and deaneries should be encouraging their staff, both academic and professional services, to engage with the changes as early as possible by:

  • Attending a training session
  • Engaging with guidance resources
  • Rebuilding courses early
  • Asking for help if needed, either through the School/Deanery Learning Technologist, or the IS Helpline.
