Last updated: Friday, 5 September 2025

To coincide with the start of the new academic year, colleagues from IT Services are running two training sessions for academic staff, exploring how to use the audio-visual (AV) equipment and Panopto lecture capture technology in teaching spaces.
The training will help staff set up and use the AV equipment and technology quickly and confidently, and will be particularly valuable to anyone new to teaching at Sussex, as well as any existing academic staff who would like to refresh their knowledge.
