Using the Learning Management System
The short skills seminars for research students are now bookable through the University's Learning Management System (LMS).
Below are instructions on how to use the Learning Manangement System, search for seminars, book a place or express an interest should a date not yet be finalised.
Log-in
Click on the relevant link on the right to 'Login' with your usual University username and password.
To search for a seminar:
Locate the sub-section 'GRO - SEMINAR SERIES FOR RESEARCH STUDENTS'. A list of all the seminars will be displayed.
Click on the title of a seminar that interests you to display the description. If seminar dates have been scheduled, these will be displayed at the bottom of page. If a course is not scheduled to run in the near future, there will be no dates listed. In this case you can 'express an interest' - see below.
To book a place:
To book a place on any session, click on the 'Enrol' link next to the date you wish to attend. Your enrolment will be confirmed on screen and it will be added to the 'In Progress' section of your Learning Plan. You will also receive an email confirming your enrolment, followed by an email reminder a week before the session date.
To express an interest in a course:
Click the 'Express Interest' link. This will be confirmed on screen and will be added to the 'In Progress' section of your Learning Plan. You will also receive an email confirming that you have expressed an interest in this course. When the course is scheduled to run you will receive an email inviting you to enrol.
If you later find you are unable to attend a course that you have enrolled on, you will be able to cancel it (ie unenrol).
To unenrol from a course:
Click on the 'Unenrol' link, either from your Learning Plan or the Learning Activity Details page. This will withdraw your name from the course and free up your place for someone else to attend.
To join the waiting list:
You may find that a course is scheduled to run but there are no places left. In this case you may have the option of adding yourself to the waiting list.
Click on the 'Join Wait List' link. This will add you to the waiting list and automatically enrol you on the course as soon as a place becomes available. You will be notified of this by email.
