This session will explore issues specifically related to working with doctoral students and their supervisors and include discussion of strategies for raising awareness with academics and administrative staff at the course development stage as well as practical ideas for working with international and part-time learners.
14.30 Break
14.45 Can't I just upload it to the VLE? Lyn Parker, Academic Services Development Librarian, University of Sheffield
