What’s on offer
ISD Digital Skills Development have released new dates for Term 2. Most of our sessions will be offered remotely using Blackboard Collaborate and Microsoft Teams, however, this term there are a couple which will take place on campus. These are marked in the schedule as ‘campus based’. See our latest schedule below.
We are offering a wide range of courses covering R, Stata, Microsoft apps (including Teams, OneNote and Sway) and much more.
We are also delighted to announce the addition of our campus-based ‘Think like a computer programmer‘ course this term. This is a brand new course targeted towards non-coders which introduces learners to programming concepts and helps to demystify coding.
