The Researcher Academy courses are very popular and the majority are run in both semesters to give you the opportunity to attend at a time of the year that suits you. Semester 1 courses will be available for booking from the second week of October and Semester 2 courses from the second week of February.

Target audience: all researchers (particularly those off campus)

Description:

This online course delivered in Moodle links to the JISC discovery tool. Engaging with the discovery tool will enable you to explore the six elements of 'digital capability' which underpin the skills and attitudes you need to engage in effective and safe digital practice in today’s world, and in the academic research environment.

Through answering the questions in the Discovery tool you will:

• assess your confidence and capability in the areas relevant to your own research and personal development needs.
• receive a personal report which signposts actions and resources that you can use to further enhance your digital capabilities.

The Moodle course encourages you to reflect on your digital knowledge and skills and encourages development of priority areas as identified by you in conjunction with the information provided in your personal report.
