A Connected Learning Innovation Fund was available to support EPS staff who wish to innovate in digital and distance-based education. The fund was available for all types of project – from the creation of high-quality digital teaching materials, through to how we engage and interact with students. Funding has been granted for innovation in teaching within the CSC2051 Systems Administration and Support module to support 54 licences for PC Building Simulator for the students, meaning that this is the realistic alternative to the regular lab experience as we can’t do the physical hardware labs which were always a key part of previous years before COVID.
