You can contact your lecturer in a few ways.

• If your lecturer has set up a Microsoft Teams group for you, you can message them from there;
• If you'd like to email a lecturer directly, their college email address would follow this format: firstname.surname@gcs.ac.uk;
• If you are unable to locate a lecturer's contact details, then complete the form and we will try to help.

Please complete this form with as many details as possible about the course including course code/session, full course title, course type (e.g. A Level, vocational type) and relevant campus. If possible, please suggest the best category for your new course.

Please specify any lecturers that will require teacher access if possible, to enable us to give you immediate access.

Once the course has been created, we will email the course website address (URL) to you so that you may begin working on your course content.

A list of e-Resources is available here.

Canvas is an online learning platform the College has purchased for use by staff and students on WBL/GCS Training courses based at the Jubilee Court Campus. It allows staff to:

• Upload and share course materials
• Create links to useful online resources
• Set and mark written assignments
• Create auto-marked multiple-choice quizzes
