Digital learning opportunities for the New Year
By Caroline Norris, on 9 January 2017
Did you know that as a UCL member you get a fantastic range of learning opportunities for free? These include face-to face courses and workshops, demonstration sessions and online learning.
Digital Skills Development
We offer a wide range of courses covering Excel, Photoshop, RStudio, Matlab, LaTeX and more.
This term we are introducing a new style of session. Our ‘workshops’ take a new approach to learning by presenting you with a problem to be solved and encouraging you to use your prior experience, web searches, in-application help and fellow participants to find a solution to the task. By the end of the session you will have improved problem-solving skills, an increased knowledge of the topic, a ‘suggested solution’ to the problem you worked on and some resources and guidance for further learning. Our first workshop is in Excel Charting later this month.
For a full list of courses and a link to the booking system visit the student course catalogue or the staff course catalogue (you will need to follow a further link to get to the actual booking pages). Dates are currently available up to and including Reading Week.
IT for IOE IT Training
IT for IOE also offer training in a wide range of digital tools including screencasting and video editing, blogging and Twitter, mind mapping and presentation tools, with some sessions are specifically aimed at Mac users. New sessions this term include one focusing on video sharing tools and a new advanced Endnote workshop.
Sessions are now available to book until March. Visit the IT for IOE IT Training pages for more details and a link to the bookings page.
Online video tutorials
We have a vast range of high-quality video-based courses available at Lynda.com. These cover technical skills but also business, personal and creative skills as well. Visit the UCL Lynda.com page to find out more.
