Lunchtime webinar series

We will be running a series of lunchtime webinars throughout the academic year, using Blackboard Collaborate. The sessions will take the format of a 20-30 minute online presentation followed by the opportunity for questions and discussion. Times and dates for upcoming webinars are listed in the table below. Our webinars are usually recorded, with the recordings shared within 48hrs on our Lunchtime Webinar Archive page.

Joining instructions for our webinars are emailed out the morning before the session to everyone that’s registered their interest via the linked Google Form. Blackboard Collaborate does not require a download to work; the session will just run through your web browser. You do not require a microphone or webcam to participate in the session. See our our Collaborate Participant Guide for more information.

Sign up for the webinar using our Google Form.
