After a couple of busy weeks (at <a href=\"https:\/\/altc.alt.ac.uk\/2016\/\">ALT&#8217;s Annual Conference<\/a>) I have been searching for a new open course to try for this autumn.

I might also see if any of my colleagues might join in and utilise the course to help us provide some internal CPD. One aspect of the course I am already finding really useful is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.23things.ed.ac.uk\/category\/23-things-syndicated\/\">community blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Another new course I have signed up for gets underway next month and is run on FutureLearn for the Open University: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.futurelearn.com\/courses\/learn-to-code\">Learn to Code for Data Analysis<\/a>. More of a challenge given what little I know about this but it&#8217;s definitely an area I am keen to develop in. In addition to what looks like a great course tutor team and content, the course also runs on a platform that I have worked with myself and I am keen to experience another course as a participant. Judging from the hundreds of enthusiastic posts in the welcome forum, I am certainly not the only participants who is looking forward to the course getting underway and not the only novice either.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently I have been writing about setting up a new CPD log using Google Apps for Education.
