Following the RESET process, the newly formed Centre for Academic and Digital Innovation (CADI) has been working to ensure that the smooth transition to a centralised team. Part of the role of the “digital side” of CADI (please view CADI team structure) is to preserve the integrity, stability, security and functionality of Moodle and integrated systems, but also to enhance support, innovation and collaboration with teaching staff and offer a high-quality learning experience for our students.

Our focus within CADI is to ensure we provide support and work with our academics so that they are able to deliver excellence in their teaching. We have provided some useful quick links below to aid you in your roles. We hope to develop these areas more within the coming months.

Each department has a tab within the faculty spreadsheet containing module assessment information downloaded from SITS (Module Details & Assessments Details from SITS columns).

The Master Module Spreadsheet is essential to allow CADI staff to efficiently create summative assessments to best support faculty academic staff.
