Microsoft Modern Workplace offers a suite of digital tools that can be used by all University staff. These include familiar apps like Word, Excel and PowerPoint, as well as a host of other tools which may be less familiar to you. These can assist you with a variety of tasks including scheduling, time management, notetaking, workflow management and more.
Digital Skills for the Modern Workplace
To help you get the most out of these tools and more, the Digital Skills Team has developed Digital Skills for the Modern Workplace - a programme of online workshops and accompanying resources which you can refer to whenever you need.
Resources on Teams
You can access the resources, discussion space, and workshop schedule via the Digital Skills for the Modern Workplace team.
