Dual teaching – additional information and training dates available
30 Jul 2021
Find out about new training options for our dual teaching technology.
Over the past few months we have been installing the technology we need so that our academics can engage with their students whether they are on campus or are learning remotely. Many teaching rooms across the Faculty have been updated with ‘dual teaching’ equipment and staff will also have access to mobile dual teaching kits that can be used in other rooms.
Over 260 staff registered for training to familiarise themselves with the equipment during the first phase of online training.
However, to ensure that all academics can receive the training they need, our eLearning team has now launched a number of additional training options.
Additional dates for online training*
Further online training sessions have been scheduled to run throughout August and September. Training sessions last for one hour and cover the technical side of using the systems, teaching considerations and tips for better outcomes.
* Subject to Covid restrictions and approvals, the eLearning team is planning to open up the online sessions so they become ‘dual teaching’ sessions. A limited number of places will be made available for staff to attend these training sessions in person, while others attend online. More details of this option will be made available as soon as possible.
Asynchronous training
We now have a version of the online training which is asynchronous, self-paced and you can complete this in your own time.
In-person familiarisation
All people that complete the training online will be offered the opportunity to try out the equipment in-person before teaching starts. The sessions will run in the Main Library Group Study Rooms located in Green 2. If you intend to teach using your own laptop, please bring this with you. A standard desktop and dual delivery equipment will be available in each room.
In the meantime, you can find out more about dual teaching on this page. It gives details of the equipment and equipped rooms, available training, guidance and FAQs.
