“What I wish I could do in Blackboard (but can’t)”

You are invited to an open session for staff users of the VLE to give feedback about what kinds of e-learning you would like to be able to do in the VLE, but currently can’t.

Wednesday 19th May 2010, Fogg Lecture Theatre, School of Biological and Chemical Sciences

1-2pm: Core event: Open feedback session
2-3pm: Optional event: panel discussion with the E-Learning Unit (who run the VLE)

This session will mark the formal launch of a VLE Selection project, whose task is to recommend a new VLE system for QM, to launch in summer 2012.

The first phase of the project will be to gather staff and student requirements for a new VLE. We will be running sessions specifically on requirements next term, as well as detailed work with subject groups.

This event is to capture broad issues with the current system at the outset. What do you wish you could do in the VLE, but can’t? What can you sort of do if you push it, but feel should be easier?

After this event, the focus will be on future requirements for e-learning (rather than the functionality of particular tools in the current system), so this is a chance for you to come and tell us what you would like to see changed.

So, if you have constructive suggestions about the VLE, or just want to let off steam, there’s no need to register – just come along.

We will announce more details about the project – events and ways to get involved – during May.
