Hello everyone! My name is Jia Ping Lee and I have joined the Digital Skills team as a digital capabilities and skills development coordinator.

I completed my undergraduate studies in Genetics at Aberystwyth and recently returned home from China after 4 years as an English Teacher for young children.

I am looking forward to supporting and working with staff and students at the university to help develop their digital skills and become digitally confident, as we all try to navigate and keep up with our constantly evolving digital society.

The Student Digital Champions met with groups of students in March 2023 to gather their opinions on LinkedIn Learning, an online learning platform that all students and staff at AU have free access to.

Take a look at the infographic below to learn more about our students’ views of the platform – a text version of the infographic is available here.
