Workshops
Tech Tutes - Workshops & Drop In Support
Tech Tutes are practical online sessions offered by Access & Inclusion during Semester 2, 2026. They provide opportunities to explore how technology can support you to access, organise, understand and work with study information.
Tech Tutes are available to all students who want to explore ways technology can support their study.
Most workshops will focus on Microsoft Copilot as a study support tool, with one practical workshop on Zotero.
What can Tech Tutes help with?
Tech Tutes explore practical ways technology can support:
- understanding and working with readings and course information
- planning assignments and organising study
- summarising and reviewing notes
- reviewing your own writing and developing ideas
- research and referencing
- revision and study preparation.
Workshops and drop-ins
Workshops are practical sessions focused on a particular tool or study task. Sessions include a demonstration, guided practice and time for questions.
Drop-ins are informal sessions where you can ask questions, practise using study technology or get help applying a tool to your own study needs. You can join at any time during the scheduled hour.

About the presenter:
Dr Michele Toner researched university students with ADHD and learning difficulties for her PhD. This added to the body of knowledge she has acquired in her 20 years of working with people who learn differently and led her to open her full-time coaching practice 5 years ago.
Over the years, she has witnessed inspiring transformations in people of all ages, following the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD and/or a learning difficulty. With these in mind, she designs workshops and coaching sessions aimed at helping people to reduce the negative impact of their symptoms and make the most of positive attributes they possess.
