“The course was engaging and well structured (...) Going through a mock workshop (simulating what it would be like as a participant), and practising presenting was vital for my learning.”
— Nov '24 cohort trainee
“Feeling very supported and scaffolded by all the work and research that has been done to develop this, and the excellent booking and material generation in the hub.”
— Sep '25 cohort trainee
“Starting the workshop by experiencing it as a participant was transformational (...) The Hub is wonderful and will save me so much time and preparation that I can focus on delivering the content in an authentic way!”
— Sep '25 cohort trainee
“Having a range of people from various parts of universities and colleges was very helpful, as well. Everyone had a lot of insight into how we can use this at our home institutions.”
— Sep '25 cohort trainee
“So wonderful! I can't wait to share with colleagues and I know this will be incredibly impactful for students.”
— Sep '25 cohort trainee
“I've thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to be more fully immersed in all elements of the workshop. Ulrik and Tiago - you have been energised, attentive, and responsive to varying needs across the cohort.”
— Sep '25 cohort trainee
“Understanding the research around digital distraction is empowering to me, as I will be able to have conversations with many user groups on campus about it (students, faculty, staff, etc.).”
— Sep '25 cohort trainee
“The structure of the course ('categories', 'strategies') has given me language to support students beyond them saying 'I'm stressed and distracted, and I don't know how to deal with it.'”
— Sep '25 cohort trainee
