We are looking forward to presenting four interactive sessions at next week’s Digital Skills Festival. Each session is based on our experiences, particularly over the past year, when we moved our support for learning design online. 

All of these sessions are open for booking by Edinburgh staff and students. 

We look forward to seeing you there!
