4pm), no appointment needed. · A dedicated ‘phone line 0151 231 3664 and email:

Forthcoming Events ·
Exam Hall
Simulation for students. Given
students’ relative inexperience with in-person exams, we’re offering a chance
for them to experience the typical operation of an exam (without the need to
answer questions). Students will be contacted about this event, taking place
in Week 7. ·
Tue 8th
Nov 2022: BioRender training session. All
staff have access to this faculty-supported program
upon request and an invite for this
training session will be sent via Outlook. |
|
|||||
|
·
Fri 11th
Nov 2022: Decolonial Approaches in Teaching and Research. This good practice sharing event takes place in the Student
Life Building and registration
is open. The deadline for submissions is now Friday 30th September. ·
7th-10th
Nov 2022. A 1 hr session led by the
Assistant Academic Registrars to discuss how we respond to students’
mitigating circumstances. Precise date-time confirmed via Outlook invite. |

|
Reporting issues with classrooms ·
A reminder that, as part of a
new joined-up approach, all transient issues with classrooms should be
reported to Helpdesk in the first instance via 5555 or online via HelpMe. The appropriate team
will then be assigned (normally Estates for fixtures and fittings, IT Services
for AV and IT issues). ·
If there is an issue that goes
beyond the above and you think that a particular classroom has a permanent
flaw e.g. needs complete refurbishment, then please report these to me for progressing via the Learning
Environment Panel. |
||||||
|
Teaching technologies ·
Recording lectures via Panopto
remains opt-in although student feedback is universally favourable. Not all
taught sessions are suitable for recording and there is guidance.
·
The University of Edinburgh
have been producing online video content for distance courses for a number of
years and offer a four-hour
online course to share their expertise. · If you require a PowerPoint clicker or USB microphone (as a
back-up device for recording lectures), please email me. Webcams and headset etc. can be
order via IT
Services. · 3D printing and scanning, virtual and augmented reality,
Raspberry Pi and Arduino kits are all available via the LJMU
digital studio based at the Student Life Building. |
