Reports from our training and events, both UWP-run and external; updates on new training we’re developing, and why.

Once again, we’d like to thank all those who came to this month’s WPC session. It’s been a very busy summer and this week we were pleased to announce the successful migration of our 100th site to EdWeb! This is a fantastic achievement and one that we are hugely proud of.

Our next Social Media training session takes place next Monday, 18 May. The course is aimed at those responsible for creating or maintaining a University social media presence and covers best practice tips and advice to ensure help you stay within University guidelines.

The UX Scotland conference is happening in Edinburgh again next month. It’s a great opportunity on the doorstep for anyone involved in user experience design, research and management, and I’m really pleased to be attending again this year.
