Develop your digital skills this academic year
By Caroline Norris, on 29 September 2017
ISD Digital Skills Development has released new dates for the autumn term. As usual, we are offering a wide range of courses covering Excel, Matlab, LaTeX, Photoshop and more.
As well as the popular Introduction to R we also have courses in data visualisation and manipulation in R. Please note that you should bring your own laptop for all of our R sessions.
This term we have some new workshops in Excel for students. These 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 introductory series of Excel Essential Skills workshops cover creating calculated worksheets, data management and using in-built Excel functions.
For a full list of courses visit the student course catalogue or the staff course catalogue. Visit the student booking system or staff booking system to book.
| Please note that the staff booking system is currently not sending out course confirmations. However, your bookings are still being made. You can visit My Bookings to check your bookings while we resolve this issue. |
If you can’t attend any of the dates we are currently offering or there is no date available for the course you want, enrol on our Moodle course to be the first to be notified about any new sessions.
