UCEM has been providing education for more than 100 years. Unsurprisingly, it is only for the latter part of our history that all teaching resources have been provided online.

In this latest episode of Digging Deeper, UCEM PR and Social Media Manager, Andrew Belt, is joined by Lynne Downey (Vice Principal – Digital Education and Professional Services) who managed the institution’s transition to become fully online, and Kate Lindsay, our Head of Digital Education.

Lynne discusses the process of transforming UCEM’s teaching provision to a wholly online model and Kate brings us up to date with where we are now and where we are headed as the leading provider of supported online education for the Built Environment. Lynne and Kate also offer advice for other institutions looking to move online and share their top entertainment picks and activities during lockdown!
