What a term!

There has been very little time to be involved in anything 'extra-curricular' since the beginning of term. It has zoomed by and I'm only now just able to start checking Twitter and the blogs I follow again. To get me back into the swing of writing for my blog I thought I'd start with an overview of what's kept me occupied for the last couple of months!

• Staffing the Enquiry Desk and other Centres and helping lots of new students with basic queries such as printing and using self-issue.
• Working out how to solve the problem of matching up returning student records on our LMS now that the College has introduced a new ID system.
• Delivering introductory inductions to groups of new students.
• Training new member of the Front of House team.
• Preparing and delivering in-depth information skills inductions in lessons.
• Training and observing colleague to deliver referencing inductions.
• Preparing and delivering training to teaching staff on how to use and utilise Moodle.
• Managing collections requests and acquisitions.
• Troubleshooting issues as part of the Moodle Support team.
• Promotion to position of Information Advisor (Resources and Content).
• Showing round interview candidates for new post.
• Training and mentoring new member of the senior team.
• Involvement in 'Study skills afternoon' for Access to Science students delivering referencing refresher and introducing guest speaker from Examstutor.
• Attending senior team meetings.
• Housekeeping tasks for our LMS.

I hope as the term starts to calm down that I'll be able to get involved again in some development opportunities. It has been mooted that I'm to sit on a new cross-College committee starting next week so looking forward to that.
