We offer half day courses or taster sessions.

Introduction to PodcastingLearn how to create usable and functional podcasts to enhance your students learning on a topic of your choice in a fun and informative way.

Podcasts and Blogs for Self and Peer EvaluationAudio/Video podcasts and written blogs are a fantastic tool to relinquish the monotony of the written word and produce exciting, specific and fun content that can be geared towards self and peer evaluation. The production of short, person-centred video clips and self referencing audio clips takes the strain away from the learner less able to produce reams of coherent text and allows them to express their thoughts in a more creative and relaxed manner, and allows the learner to still satisfy course requirements. These podcasts are shared in a specific format and with RSS feeds to allow easy integration to other applications.

I Can AnimateAnimation is a great way to get young people engaged and can be used throughout the whole curriculum.

Using ‘I Can Animate’, this session will introduce the software and allow participants to have a go at creating an animation.
