A key part of the relationship between SHU and partners staff is the recognition that we are all experts in our different fields. Therefore, the sharing of knowledge, experience, expertise and training, both by SHU and partner staff, is open to all. Below are a range of personal development and training resources, some can be accessed directly, others might require signing into. Please follow the links to see what is needed to gain access.
Quick Access:

AI Literacy Course
A self-paced resource, Introduction to AI Literacy, is now available to staff and students. This short course provides a clear and practical starting point for understanding artificial intelligence and its growing role in education, work, and society.
Communities of Practice
Where the university is able to franchise awards to multiple partners, we are keen to promote communities of practice (CoP). These CoP’s are a safe space in which questions can be asked and good practice shared.
A great example of this is our FdSc Assistant Practitioner (Health and Social Care) course that meets at regular intervals throughout the year. Agendas cover topics such as: course updates; student recruitment; assessment regulations and standardisation; policy updates.
FdSc Assistant Practitioner (Health and Social Care) Community of Practice
This Community of Practice meets monthly at the Heart of Campus Building, Collegiate Crescent, Sheffield S10 2BP, and stays in contact via MS Teams.
If you would like to join this group, please email us at ukpartnerships@shu.ac.uk.
