The aims are to explore the opportunities offered by Fronter and to learn new skills that will help us to further engage students with online learning. All sessions will run from 4:00 to 5:30pm and are organised by Director of eLearning, Jonathan Eynon and/or in collaboration with others.Jonathan Eynon Please sign in at reception and someone will come to meet you.
