We are currently offering the following lunch-time training sessions to staff in the Faculty of Health and Medicine (FHM) but staff from across the University are very welcome to join:<\/p>\n

Monday 25th<\/sup> November (12-12:30): Moodle H5P Activities: A Showcase<\/strong><\/p>\n

H5P activities are interactive and often gamified content on Moodle such as interactive videos, flashcards, image hotspots, Cornell notes, crosswords and more! In this session you can preview a selection of the activities and learn how to set one up in Moodle. Including H5P content in your Moodle spaces will help engage your students and many of the activities are great for revision.<\/p>\n

Thursday 5th<\/sup> December (12-12:30): A new Moodle layout: images, summaries and more!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Learn how to create a more engaging looking Moodle space by using\u00a0the “one section per page” layout and adding images and summaries to each of the sections. You will also learn about student feedback on Moodle layouts and templates and what students like to see in a Moodle space.<\/p>\n

Monday 9th<\/sup> December (12-12:30): Making documents accessible<\/strong><\/p>\n

Follow-up appointment details will be shared in the session to book a 1:1 support meeting to put what you have learned into practice if required.<\/p>\n
