Learning Technologies

Learning Technologies is your Academy based support team, here to help you become more fluent and confident in the use of the wide range of virtual and physical tools available to us all at James Cook University.

We offer at-elbow support to academics as well as virtual, interactive support sessions. Our team has a wealth of experience and knowledge which we're eager to share. We strongly believe that together we can build a robust and captivating learning experience for our Students by empowering our Academics to learn interesting and novel ways to deliver their content.

Please reach out to us! No question is too simple; no idea too outrageous.
