Tomorrow’s the big day for NU Digital 2014! If you haven’t been able to get onto the workshop of your choice, remember you can drop by any of our stalls, bite size 10 minute talks, and get an overview of IT new and old in our Playroom and Museum. There are also competitions for you to enter, and lots of freebies, including this unmissable little desk buddy to give you keyboard a much needed Spring (Autumn?) clean.
Preparations are well under way for NuDigital on 12th November – we’ve just released our programme – and we’re pretty proud of it! Take a look at the workshops and talks we have to offer this year, there’s something for everyone in, from insider tips to help you get the most from everyday office applications, to hearing how social media and apps can help you achieve your fitness goals. Book your place early to make sure you don’t miss out.
Although the success of last year’s event barely seems a year ago, NU Digital 2014 is ready for re-launch! This year we’re back again with more cutting edge technology, top tips and toys for you to play with. The events is for all staff – research, teaching, and services – as well as PGR students; so whether you’re a digital native or a recent digital immigrant, come along and find out more.
As well as seeing some of the new and exciting ways digital technology is put to use in the University’s Research Centres – those who attended last year might remember the 3D printer creating a replica axe head from an archaeological dig, or the stroke rehab video game to improve coordination – we’ll also be looking at how technology can benefit both your working and home life.
There’ll be a range of bite size 10 minute talks on topics ranging from social media to useful apps to longer 30 minute workshops. As usual there’ll also be plenty of drop in activities and a variety of stands from cross-campus departments & services offering the chance to see some of the latest developments. Come along and help us make this event bigger and better than ever. Keep your eyes peeled both here on the event blog and around campus for more information and save the date now!
