Digital Champions Workshop Series 2026
Digital Champions is a staff and student partnership running at University of Galway. Their aim is to provide staff and students with opportunities to improve their awareness and confidence in using digital technologies.
Each semester they run a series of FREE workshops which are open to both staff and students.
1. Podcasting
In our podcasting workshop participants will learn how to find & subscribe to podcasts, plan a podcast, explore the technologies to record and edit a podcast, and produce and publish their own short programme. You’ll also find out how to connect and set up microphones, apps, or other software and get started on creating a podcast, including editing different components together.
This workshop takes place 12noon-2pm Wednesday 30th September 2026 in Meeting Rooms 1 & 2, Áras na Mac Léinn.
2. Video
Our video workshop will be a hands-on, practical and fun. We’ll take you through the video process, and explore video software & tools. As well as this, we’ll look at useful video equipment options and bring some of our own equipment to demonstrate what’s useful.
This workshop takes place 12noon-2pm Wednesday 21st October 2026 in Meeting Room 1 & 2 Áras na Mac Léinn
