As students transition to independent working at college or university, technology becomes invaluable. When it comes to researching, revising and writing assignments on digital devices, Read&Write offers students a wealth of support. 

So, how can you make sure that students know it’s available across campus computers?


Did you know that 8/10 HE students access lecture notes or recorded lectures at least once per week, and 6/10 FE students use digital devices to make recordings at least once per week

Getting colleagues on board

According to Jisc, substantial numbers of teaching staff would like digital technologies to be used more than they are now in their teaching practice (FE: 66%, HE: 62%).

So, to ensure you’re getting the most from your subscription, we’ve pulled together some resources to inspire your colleagues to incorporate Read&Write into their teaching.

Webinars & training

Our customer care team have put together an in-depth series of webinars to support you on your Read&Write journey. They're suited for both users brand new to the product, or those simply looking for a refresh.

In addition, why not encourage your colleagues to visit our training portal for courses, certifications and resources? It'll empower them to maximise the use of your institute’s Read&Write subscription.

Videos & blogs

Our YouTube channel is packed full of playlists you can share with colleagues to give them an overview on the capabilities of Read&Write. 

Equally, our blog contains all the latest product updates and helpful tips on how our tools can transform teaching and learning. Why not share one of these blogs as a starting point, or encourage colleagues to subscribe?
