Staff and faculty are encouraged to set aside the time in their agendas to take full advantage of the sessions scheduled over the two-day period allocated to digital skill development.
The event sessions offer employees opportunities to share their discoveries and experiences with new tools and platforms with their colleagues in an informal and collaborative environment – peer-to-peer learning is a key element of this event.
The Digital Skill-Share Days event will offer employees engaging opportunities to focus on areas of learning most relevant to them.
