The School of Rural Health put its use of technology on show at the Innovation and Technology Expo in September. The event featured exhibitions, information sessions and demonstrations specific to PhD students, early career researchers, supervisors and other research staff.

Dr Julie Willems represented the school and contributed two demonstations of our use of Zoom, a cloud-based meeting technolgy currently being trialed by the University.

Two Ed Tech Inservice sessions were broadcast to the expo which generated a lot of interest. Julie and Cathy Ward were able to explain to visitors how the school uses Zoom. Both sessions demonstrated participants across multiple sites working on the same presentation or document.

Cathy and Melissa McNicol, who also attended the expo, will be disseminating all the useful tips they learned over the next couple of weeks. If you’d like to know more about what they learned, please contact them.
