Microsoft Office 365 is available to all staff and students at LSE and contains some very powerful tools to support teaching and learning. This resource considers a range of teaching and learning activities and the Office 365 tools that can be used to support them.
LSE Trailblazers was a project in 2020 which aimed to enhance a selection of courses from across the School so that they would stand as exemplars of good practice in online and blended learning design. To this end, the School appointed an e-learning consultancy, SkillEd, to work with course convenors on the design of these courses. Eleven courses were developed over the course of the 2020 summer in preparation for teaching in the Michaelmas term of that year. A condition of the work was that the course development must make use of existing technologies already available within LSE.
This document presents the best of the innovative approaches and features used in the Trailblazer courses. Each section provides a description of the innovation, a screenshot showing an example, and an explanation of the benefits. There are then directions for implementing this innovation in your own course, with links to existing online guidance.
