The BSMS Learning Technologists recently joined with other learning technology advisors from Brighton University, Sussex University, and Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals (BSUH) for a ‘show-and-tell’ peer-feedback event. The purpose was that each Learning Technologist would bring along examples of their work to learn from each other and help improve our future work. The content was varied and created very helpful round-table discussion that will benefit our video projects.

Questions to ask yourself are:

  • Is it free?
  • Do I need to get permission to use?
