Training
A full overview of all Learning Technology courses is available on the Learning Technology Training Page
The content below is for Learn 'original' courses, not Learn Ultra courses. We are currently updating and creating new materials and courses for Learn Ultra, which will be available shortly. There will be a number of these training sessions scheduled throughout the year. This training will be aimed at instructors, course organisers and administrative staff who have editing privileges for courses. You will be able to sign up to these through People and Money. In the interim, amongst other things, you can find good practice advice about setting up a course in Ultra on our Sharepoint site.
