WordPress User [shs63] IS Digital Essentials for Teaching Leave a comment

In September 2023, we launched the new ‘IS Digital Essentials for teaching’ Blackboard site. The site is a culmination of resources from Information Services that any new academic staff member might need. This includes a checklist for everything you need to complete before you begin teaching as well as information and access to resources you could currently need, or you may want to digitally enhance your teaching.  

This is a reminder to all academic staff that the Blackboard site is still available to support any new or existing staff. View the Blackboard site to learn more.  

If you have any questions or if you’re having trouble accessing the course. Please contact us at: digi@aber.ac.uk

Option 1

You can either click on the format icon in the chat, and you can easily create bullet points or a numbered list from here.

Option 2

Or, if you’re in a Teams chat:

  • Press – and then the space bar to start your bullet points
  • Press 1. and then the space bar to start a numbered list
