Microsoft Modern Workplace offers a suite of digitial tools that can be used by all University staff. These include familiar apps like Word, Excel and PowerPoint, as well as a host of other tools which may be less familiar to you. These can assist you with a variety of tasks including scheduling, time management, notetaking, workflow management and more.
Making Microsoft Modern Workplace work for you
To help you get the most out of these Microsoft tools, the Digital Skills Team has developed Making Microsoft Modern Workplace Work for You - a programme of online workshops and accompanying resources which you can refer to whenever you need.
