It's that time of year again. We are running introductory/refresher sessions to learn.gold (Goldsmiths Virtual Learning Environment) throughout September. Staff and research students who teach can sign up for these using the form linked from the main menu on the learn.gold front page (https://azgold01a0101.gold.cdl.cosector.com).
Don't worry if you've attended a previous session - it's fairly normal to forget how to use something if you don't use it frequently.
Can't make a workshop? Here are some other ways learn.gold course area editors (i.e. those with a tutor role in a course area) can get support:
- To answer a particular question click the little yellow '?' and 'i' icons, where you see them. These will give you (respectively) context-specific and more general help.
- There are resources linked from the Main Menu on the learn.gold front page:
