 Website relaunch: October 2012

The LeTs website has undergone substantial rewriting and restructuring over the past few months. We hope you will find the information it contains more accessible, more relevant and easier to find.

A whole new section, the Toolkit for Learning and Teaching is aimed at all academics who teach and allied Professional Services.

It offers support to you in your academic role and provides the information you need to give your students the best possible learning experience.

This resource gives good practice hints and tips and shares a wide range of examples for delivering teaching from across the University, combined with guidance on relevant University and national policies.  http://www.shef.ac.uk/lets/toolkit

UniStats has now published the Key Information Set (KIS) data on its website. Departments are checking the data to ensure accuracy and completeness.
