We have been looking at the data about students attending skills courses.
At University of Edinburgh students have a choice of whether to work through online materials in LinkedIn Learning at their own pace or to attend synchronous teacher-led sessions with our Digital Skills Training team, in person or via webinars.
The data show that students from the College of Science and Engineering use LinkedIn Learning at a higher proportion than they were represented in the overall population, and at nearly double the rate of those attending Digital Skills Training.
Whereas students from College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine were more likely to take Digital Skills Training than use LinkedIn Learning.
Students from College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences were slightly more likely to attend Digital Skills Training than use LinkedIn Learning, but the difference was not as significant as for the other Colleges.
