Independent researcher Helen Beetham delivered a fantastic two-part session on designing online activities for university learning. This was a great opportunity for participants to learn, discuss, and reflect on some of the work they have been doing and what others have been doing, to give the best possible education to students, especially in an ever-increasing digital world. Highlights from part one<\/a> and part two<\/a> can be found online and viewed at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nuala Davis and Graeme Redshaw-Boxwell delivered two sessions called \u2018Saving time and enriching your courses with Canvas Commons\u2019. These sessions looked at how we can use Canvas Commons and how it can enhance our courses. Further information can found in the session slides<\/a> and Canvas Orientation course<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr Cees van Der Land led a session entitled \u2018A Series of lightning talks and Q&A about virtual fieldwork and virtual labs\u2019 that looked at some of the inspiring, inventive, and innovative ways we have adapted our teaching to give the students great learning experiences in the absence of present in person land and fieldwork. Eight speakers did a series of lively presentations giving a cross university perspective of the work that has been done to move the hands on elements of a students experience to a digital platform. You can find all seven videos on ReCap<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Throughout the week we have been releasing a series of new case studies<\/a> that will take you through some of the creative and innovative ways we have adapted since March 2020. These case studies really highlight the fantastic work we\u2019ve achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, we were extremely excited to release the first two episodes of the Learning &Teaching @ Newcastle university Podcast. This fortnightly podcast will explore some of the great things we\u2019ve been doing in Learning and Teaching here at Newcastle University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Podcast](\"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/ltdev\/files\/2021\/07\/FINAL-Logo-1024x1024.png\"){kind=logo}
