The E-Learning Unit’s 12 Tips of Christmas
The E-Learning Unit staff have put their collective heads together to create 12 E-Learning Tips of Christmas which we encourage you to try out or take a look at. These tips span QMplus, QMplus Media and Q-Review, covering topics such as accessibility and including a few time saving tricks.
E-Learning Support for Students over Christmas
A quick reminder that the E-Learning Unit will be providing support via The Helpdesk over the Christmas period (3 hours per day on the 24th, 27th, 28th, 29th, 30th and 31st of Dec) to ensure that learning resources are accessible to the students and any technical issues are resolved whilst they are revising. Further information for staff on semester based exam support can be found on ARCS’s FAQ page.
