Dear Victoria,
We don’t provide any such training within our Digital Skills Development programme, however, Digital Education and the Arena Centre have developed video resources on using hybrid teaching technology in classrooms as part of their basic hybrid teaching support offering. This includes video guides on using both Teams and Zoom from the managed PC in a teaching space.
Kind regards,
Jasmin

Please could you tell me if you ever have or will have any courses or e-learning on hybrid meetings or using Zoom or Teams for such meetings? or on using Zoom for webinars?
