Students take up the offer of Study Support webinars
e-Sgoil's Study Support evening webinars are now in full swing, with a total of 50 different webinars running each week during term time.
The number of youngsters registering continues to climb, with lots of people coming onboard just now at prelim time.
e-Sgoil currently has 3,184 learners registered for a total of 12,700 individual webinars. There's still plenty of room though, because the webinars take place on Microsoft Teams through Glow, so large numbers can be accommodated on a call for some of the most popular subjects.
