Health and Social Care off-air recordings listed on Blackboard
To help promote off-air recordings to Health and Social Care staff and students, Kevin has set up an area on Blackboard where we can list recent programmes recorded. Each item shows the programme title and brief summary of the content, with the title acting as a hyperlink to the library catalogue entry. The collection includes both DVDs of television programmes and audio CDs of radio transmissions.
Happy birthday Kev!
Birthday boy!
Staff at Hull Learning Resource Centre wanted to make sure that Kev Cooper’s 50th birthday went off with a bang! Kev shares his birthday with such illustrious company as William Shakespeare and he was deeply touched that we’d arranged for St George’s flag to be flown throughout Hull in his honour!!
Blogging tip #3 – avoiding campus-ism
This is more of a departmental guideline than a tip… and it applies when writing for the Portal, Blackboard, etc., as well as for the blogs.
Try and remember the other 3 campuses! If you’re writing for a Brayford audience about something which only applies to Lincoln, then make it clear in the story (and by using tags) that it’s a GCW-specific story.
It’s equally a good idea to clearly signpost when it’s a Hull-, Riseholme- or Holbeach-specific blog posting – and, conversely, to explicitly say when a story applies across all campuses and L&LR centres.
This allows users to filter our blogs’ RSS feeds, if they want, so that they’re not getting stories which only relate to centres they don’t use. And it helps avoid any “misunderstandings”!
There’s more on this in the [still draft!] bloggers’ guidelines.
