What are the Digital Skill-Share Days?

Started in 2020 in response to urgent digital upskilling needs during the Covid-19 pandemic, the Digital Skill-Share Days is a learning event dedicating to helping Concordia employees grow and share their digital skills. The event is crowd sourced, with most content coming from Concordia staff and faculty. This year, all sessions are virtual, except the welcome plenary and keynote which will be offered in hybrid (coffee and snacks are not yet available virtually).

Join us in refreshing your digital skills! If you can't find exactly what you need in the live sessions, there are also online resources to learn at your own pace in both the 'learn on your own' tab, as well as several sections in the 'additional resources' tab.
