This is a recording of a 60 minute online interactive presentation covering the basics of using free-to-use learning resources at NTU, on 17 January 2013.   The webinar gives a basic grounding in finding and reusing learning resources shared by others, and sharing your own resources, including copyright considerations and using Creative Commons licenses.  It highlights the benefits that these resources can bring to your work, gives examples of how they are being used by NTU colleagues and looks at how to use them.  This resource is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 UK: England & Wales Licence.   Copyright 2013 Nottingham Trent University

My winning case study! It illustrates the approach we took to enable a large group of staff to develop the digital skills and knowledge required to confidently deal with a high volume of telephone calls and use software to fill vacant places in Clearing. The group had a mixed skill set and a short amount of time to gain new skills. Using the flipped classroom approach, factual and contextual information was delivered through online activities allowing for the maximum amount of classroom time to be dedicated to gaining practical digital skills. The case study describes what was done, the challenges involved and the solutions we found, impact on the learners and the wider university, and highlights ways this approach can be used at other educational institutions.
