The Digital Education Team runs a programme of workshops on all our educational technologies and digital accessiblity. The sessions are run both online and in-person throughout the year. View full details and sign up on the LEaD events calendar.
You can request one-to-one or group training on any of City's educational technologies or digital accessibility via the IT Self Service Portal.
The timetabling policy prioritises the booking of planned hybrid teaching courses into ISLA rooms. This ensures that hybrid modules and courses have priority allocation in any ISLA learning space before on-campus teaching is timetabled. The ISLA Steering Group has collated an up-to-date spreadsheet of all planned hybrid teaching, which forms City’s definitive list for planning and timetabling.
Any ad-hoc hybrid teaching that has not been approved by the School Programme Approval and Review Committee (PARC) or the Timetable Planning Group (TPG) will not be prioritised. This does not however prevent the use of hybrid teaching where an ISLA room is available. Where Livestreaming would be appropriate, a DALI room is sufficient, as all DALI spaces are enabled for lecture capture Livestreaming. The Timetabling department and the ISLA Steering Group may require clarification on the use of an ISLA room and advise whether a Livestream room may be more appropriate.
Approved by the Education and Employability Board and the ISLA Steering Group.
