Dear All,

 

Thank you for your work this week.

Congratulations to Andres who has now officially passed his CMALT.

Today is the last day to apply for VS.

Our LTW engagement with the staff engagement survey is now: 70% ( ISG 67%)

Amid a flurry of news coverage about students using AI, UK universities warned to ‘stress-test’ assessments as 92% of students use AI | Universities | The Guardian Bart has launched his training for students: https://www.events.ed.ac.uk/index.cfm?eventssearch=Generative+AI%3A+Introduction+to+responsible+use+of+Generative+AI+and+ELM+for+students&event=search&eventStart=0&eventProviderId=&cw_inChannelLink=1&cw_passThrough=marked

Satu reports that 560 ISG staff took digital skills training course last year, so don’t be shy.

Our Digital Safety Intern Aysha has blogged about the perils of online dating: https://blogs.ed.ac.uk/dsdt/digital-safety/managing-online-relationships and Nick has blogged about the Content Improvement Club Content Improvement Club: what we covered in our February session – Website and Communications Blog

I am pleased to see  our  20+ summer intern adverts are up University of Edinburgh Jobs – Unitemps  Please do post them on LinkedIn. In-house research suggests that adding a picture of a cat or dog to your post increases engagement.

Thank you to all the casual bakers who spoiled us with cookies and cruffins on Wednesday. It was a fabulous spread. I know you will now be prepping for Shrove Tuesday/ Fat Tuesday/ MardiGras/Carnivale.

Best wishes,

-Melissa
