Scran sessions aim to show teachers how to tap into a vast visual resource, become familiar with the functions of the website, www.scran.ac.uk for research & investigation – as well as considering new applications for classroom activity.

Staff can find out how to acquire imagery & information to illuminate teaching & learning practice.  All 390,000 records on Scran are rights cleared for educational use and the content can be used across the curriculum. The session consists of a presentation followed by an enjoyable series of online tasks exploring the potential of Scran.

Scran is listed on the GTCS register of approved CPD providers and on Education Scotland’s PLFind.
