As a member of the new Leadership and Management Community of Practice, we want to hear your ideas about ‘what next’. What would you like the CoP to achieve? What are your Big Ideas and small ideas?

We will also introduce some of the ideas that have been collected so far from new members and at the Launch event. The Teams link will be sent to attendees on the morning of the meeting. |

This 1 hour, instructor-led session will walk you through the different pages you need to complete in the Funding Management Portal to publish your fund for the coming year. This session is the first part of learning how to use the FMP to advertise and manage your funds: Module 1 – Adding and Editing. You will be shown how to enter your funds into the system to be published on the PG Funding Search, potentially appear to applicants in their admissions applications (in GAP), which fields you can fill in to determine eligibility and how this process can bring your team value as the admissions cycle commences. The rollover period in the system to 2024-25 advertising starts on the 15th July, and the deadline for entry for funds that wish to appear to applicants in GAP (and be published in the PG Funding Search for the beginning of September) is 19th August. This training is appropriate not only for colleagues new to the FMP, but also for returning users as we have made some updates to the system since the previous year. Your presenter will tailor this training to the attending audience to give the best experience, and our team will be available to support you in using the FMP throughout the academic year. We will also publish dates and times of ‘drop-in’ sessions for further support, which will not require a booking. |

Whilst the training is up to date with the latest legislation, advice and information, we have an opportunity to significantly tailor the package, to help it resonate with staff across our academic and professional services communities. We’d love your help, to understand any aspects you really like, (or don’t!) and where we might make changes to give each of the modules a University of Cambridge ‘look and feel’. The session will be fairly fast-paced, with a high-level review of each module and a closer look at each of the proposed videos. We'll offer the opportunity for participants to provide individual comments and also group feedback, based on breakout room discussions.

Moodle as the Virtual Learning Environment is supporting teaching and learning at the University. One of the key principles in the University's implementation of Moodle is devolved control. Moodle is used by a large number of Faculties, Departments, Colleges, and other offices, and each area will have its own specialist knowledge and specific requirements. Devolved control will enable each institution to have control over the courses they built and their location in the Course structure. As such, each Institution has at least one Moodle Coordinator (we recommend two). Moodle Coordinators manage all the courses within their category of Faculty, Department or College; they can do anything in any course they have control of, including create new courses, edit existing courses, and add teachers. Coordinators will also act as a first line of support - offering help and advice to the users in their area. This is a training course aimed at users who are current Coordinators or are planning to become Coordinators. During the interactive course participants will practice how to create subcategories and courses, how to backup and restore their courses, how to enrol cohorts of users, and how to archive their courses in the Course History environment. |

Yoga with Daisy Worzencraft is primarily about having fun, giving things a go, and trying - with a sense of humour and a smile on your face! It's a non competitive practice, with modifications for different levels. All she asks is that you try, and that you practice with a sense of pleasure and enjoyment, rather than expectation, frustration and tension. For Daisy, Yoga has been a consistent friend in her life - especially in times of need - and had nothing to do with perfecting poses!
