Description
This session will be delivered online via Microsoft Teams.

This session sits alongside our Welcome Sessions for New Staff and gives
new starters an overview of the digital landscape of the University. We
will show and demo some of the key systems of the university and give
new starters an opportunity to explore some of the key digital systems
appropriate for their roles. Tutors remain logged into the session and
be available to answer questions. All participants will be linked to a
launchpad webpage with links to all the key digital support systems and
services for staff in their respective functions. This session is not
intended to replace local digital onboarding, especially with regards to
systems with limited access, but orientate new starters towards existing
university wide support and tools.

The digital orientation is new in the OD&PL [organisational development
and professional learning] offer. we would very much welcome any
feedback to help us fine-tune content and delivery of the session.


This session is suitable for all staff who have set up their university
