Digital Skills week 2017 at RCSI

Departments across RCSI are coming together to offer a range of activities and events to mark National Digital Skills Week 2017 including HPEC, RCSI Library, IT, Staff Learning & Development as well as many others.

National Digital Skills Week The All Aboard initiative is funded by the National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching & Learning, which aims to identify skills and knowledge that students & higher education staff, will need to feel confident and creative when learning, working and exploring the digital world. RCSI is an institutional partner with Waterford IT for this project.

It’s a busy week at RCSI, with a range of talks, webinars and classes taking place. Topics covered will include a digital badging webinar, an online webinar looking at digital skills for health professionals and a talk by Professor Gráinne Conole looking at current innovations in technology enhanced learning.

Today, Monday 3rd April, RCSI Library will be running an Introduction to EndNote class, which will look at getting the most from this reference management software. You can book a place here.
