Get Ahead, Stay Ahead is a series of pre-sessional study skills and writing workshops, designed to help you prepare for university before the beginning of the academic year.
This friendly, live online workshop will help you get ready to use Birkbeck IT. We will demonstrate and answer questions about our four major online learning systems:
- Moodle - where you will find all the academic resources for your modules
- Collaborate and MS Teams - two different systems which Birkbeck uses for online lectures and teaching
- Panopto – our system for recording and replaying lectures
If you are concerned about other IT skills, for example how you will write your assignments in Word or use PowerPoint for presentations, we can guide you to some useful resources for improving your skills.
This online workshop will take place on a link found withing the Birkbeck Study Skills Moodle module.
The resources and recordings will be found after the workshops on the Birkbeck Study Skills Moodle module (student login required) in the Get Ahead, Stay Ahead section.
