About the Event :
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a powerful tool that can transform the way we work. It has the potential to handle repetitive tasks, freeing up time for more meaningful activities. However, to fully leverage RPA's capabilities requires an understanding of its principles.
This webinar will provide a comprehensive overview of RPA principles, real-world education applications, and how RPA can manage rather repetitive teaching duties like Excel-related tasks, web scraping, and online communication. Through examples and use cases, staff will gain insights into how Power Automate Desktop, an RPA tool, can automate routine tasks, enhancing work efficiency.
The session highlights best practices for adopting RPA, focusing on how it can reduce the burden of repetitive work and allow educators to invest more time in core teaching duties.
No prior RPA or coding knowledge is required. Participants should come with an open mind willing to explore how this technology can transform their roles efficiently.
