Learning and Teaching Online Resources
SDDU is committed to ensuring that all staff at the University of Leeds have access to development opportunities. We are building web-based learning materials to integrate with our staff development programme. These materials include online guides, multimedia, work-through packages and blended learning to support face-to-face workshops. These materials are designed to enable you to undertake development activities at a time, place and pace that best suits you.
The staff of the SDDU have created the following electronic resources. Please do not copy any of these without permission.
