Regent's University London is running a fun and free online program to learn about new apps<\/a>, starting on the 1st December. Each day you can spent 10 minutes of your time to learn about a new app, and how it can help your teaching and supporting of students.<\/p>\n

Each day this blog post will update with an overview of each new app<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For the twelve working days of the program, each day will offer a new task with instructions on a different app, tailored suggestions of how to use the app with your students, and how it can work effectively in a professional context. Course material will be left up so if you miss a day then you can easily catch up.<\/p>\n
