COURSE DELIVERY

Workshops and tutorials will be delivered via Zoom. You will have access to a dedicated classroom space on Padlet, where you will be able to access course materials and ask any questions. Workshops are recorded and the recordings will be made available to you, password-protected on our Vimeo, the day after each session. At the end of the course you will receive a handout collating the course materials, as well as links to the session recordings, to revisit in future.

Course delivery is wholly online. We welcome applications from students anywhere in the world, but applicants should note that all teaching is provided in evenings UK time.

For access purposes and to enable effective communication please note that, while you are not required to have your camera on at all times, we do request that your camera is on when you speak with tutors.
