Digital Learning staff development in January 2021
We are pleased to share our upcoming staff development sessions that are open to all UAL staff across all colleges and departments. All sessions will be hosted online using Collaborate Ultra.
Your college may also have additional sessions available to you that you can find on ESS. Contact your college’s Digital Learning team if you have any questions on those.
If you have any questions, please contact us through MySupport.

Cancellation:
If you book a session and later need to cancel, please decline the Outlook invitation and cancel your booking in ESS. Cancelling your booking in ESS will allow other colleagues to book in your place.
