VLE Implementation

Aims

To provide a modern VLE

Overview


In a recent user survey, MOLE, our current VLE is viewed as slow and clunky, and the University is seen to be falling behind other universities in our innovative use of eLearning. The recent VLE review project recommended that the current VLE – based on Blackboard 8 is upgraded to Blackboard 9 to provide a modern, robust VLE for the University for years to come. The support for Blackboard 8 is also running out in Jan 2013.
