What we’re currently working on

As we continue with the VLE Excellence programme, we have a variety of important projects that continue to support in enhancing both the staff and student experience within the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE).

  • Learn Optimised for In-course Submission and Assessment (LOUISA): LOUISA is a 3-year project that aims to improve both student and staff experience of the University’s VLE, Learn. The 3-year project aims to streamline common assessment types used across the University within the Learn, to remove unnecessary complexities and create a more user-friendly experience for both staff and students.
  • Teaching Workshops: Currently, the Learning Technology Training Programme offers a host of ‘how to’ training sessions across our portfolio of centrally supported learning technology tools. This project sets out to create a short series of workshops that would complement and sit alongside the current programme of learning technology training.
  • Peer Assessment: The Peer Assessment project sets out to to examine the University’s current portfolio of learning technologies that support peer assessment, understanding good practice and identifying training opportunities to support in the use of peer assessment when using learning technology.
