Shining a light on the power and potential of digital technology<\/em><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

The use of digital\u00a0\"Spotlight<\/a>technologies\u00a0is already a large part of most jobs, particularly within universities, and this is set to grow even more in the future. While there is a huge variety of different tools, technologies and methods, there are ways of thinking about technology and some basic techniques that can be applied in most roles, and beyond the workplace.<\/p>\n

Throughout July, LEAD ran workshops\u00a0on some of these principles and techniques, including topics such as why digital technology is an important part of the Applied University, how you currently use (or don’t use) technology in your existing practice, your rights and responsibilities online, how and why to make your content more accessible to people with disabilities, and how to preserve your wellbeing in the flood of online information.<\/p>\n

Everyone’s experience and relationship with technology is different, and everyone’s role is different, so over the course of the month we’ll be sharing a range of different online\u00a0resources and running weekly workshops for all staff at SHU. Whether you are a total technophobe,\u00a0curious but cautious, a\u00a0digital expert, or something in between, we hope that there will be thing to interest and inspire you and that you’ll be able to\u00a0increase your understanding of some of the ways that technology can help you, as well as share ways that it already has.<\/p>\n
