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.
  • Learning Analytics in UltRA (LAURA): LAURA is a 2-year project that will support improving the student experience by ensuring that students, teachers, and support staff are making the best use of the data, information and dashboards that are currently available in Learn, and other centrally supported learning technology applications, to gain useful insights.      
  • VLE Consolidations Continued (VLECC): VLECC will work to consolidate the work initiated via TEL038 (Consolidation of bespoke VLE’s into the University’s centrally supported VLE, Advanced Learn) by moving all programmes currently being delivered via Moodle onto Learn Ultra.
