Do you take the time to really analyse your own performances online? What steps can you take to ensure your participants get a worthwhile return for giving up their time?
In this session Russell Symmons, exploring the role of both ‘presenter’ and ‘participant’, will involve you in a journey of critical analysis courtesy of the Web Conferencing Toolkit.
What is eSafety? Where can you find resources to support you and your organisation? How can you participate in Safer Internet Day 2015?
In this session Esther Barrett raised awareness of key eSafety issues and introduced some useful resources to help organisations address the risks and responsibilities associated with learning using technology.
Bring Your Own Device is very much part of current discussions within colleges and learning providers at the moment. How much do you know about how learners, and especially learners with disabilities, use their own devices?
In this session, called Up to Their Own Devices, Lisa Featherstone from Jisc TechDis will look at some of the accessibility options available on tablets and smartphones and also some examples of how those options might be used.
