As the new semester begins, Learning and Teaching Enhancement Services (LTES) will be increasing the training offering for staff for technology used in learning and teaching.

Learning technology is focused around using technology in a way that supports students’ learning and the pedagogical application of technologies. Headed by our learning technologist, the offering will be catering for both staff new to teaching with technology and staff members who’d like more support in trying new things.

If you would like training on technologies such as Vision and Turnitin, please visit https://www.hw.ac.uk/services/is/learning-teaching/learning-technology.htm.

We will happily schedule training at a time and place that suits, and we endeavour for training to be delivered both face to face, through webinars and with supplementary materials.

SAE Technical Papers will give you access to journal articles about vehicle transport, including cars, aerospace, and autonomous and unmanned vehicles.  As well as automotive papers, this resource also has information useful to students studying other areas of science, engineering or business management, such as robotics, manufacturing, and energy.

You can access SAE Technical Papers with your normal Heriot-Watt username and password.  There’s around 58,000 full-text journal articles in this database, and it also gives information about another 150,000+ articles, which may be available through Interlibrary Loan if you are in third year or higher.

Our trial of this database will end on 30th April 2019.  Please send any feedback to Kirsty Thomson k.s.thomson@hw.ac.uk
