Online Learning 

LinkedIn Learning

Available to all DCU colleagues, LinkedIn Learning gives you online access 24x7 to a broad range of technical, creative and professional developmental courses to support your learning and teaching. 

Eportfolio

Loop Reflect is a learning portfolio platform available to all students and faculty. The online learning portfolio supports making your learning visible to you and to others through the creation of a personal and reflective showcase of academic, professional, and/or personal achievements. Your portfolio is completely private to you but can be shared externally, as you wish.

You can use Reflect as a professional teaching portfolio or for your own personal reflections. Maintaining a  portfolio of your achievements may prove very beneficial to highlight the skills and experience you have gained over the course of your academic or professional journey when you apply for a promotion.

To help you make the most of your eportfolio, below you will find further information on the Teaching Enhancement Unit page. Sample portfolios and technical guidance on the platform is available here.
