Xerte Friday schedule for 2011
Jump to:
The Xerte Friday sessions are designed to support teaching practitioners who want to embed the use of Xerte online toolkits in their teaching. For 2011 we are experimenting with a subject focused programme to encourage more traditional staff to start on the Xerte Toolkits learning curve. Please forward to colleagues as appropriate.
The Xerte Friday online training sessions take place on the last Friday of most months at www.instantpresenter.com/techdisonline104 from 1 p.m.(GMT) and last around 45 minutes. These are free sessions and all you need to take part is an Internet connected computer with a headset/earphones.
The table below shows the schedule for 2011 and suggests key audiences. We would like to hear from anyone already using Xerte in any of these subject areas - please email helpdesk@techdis.ac.uk.
