For Staff = Rollover complete and the VLE is back online

Dear Colleagues,

The VLE is now available again after the rollover period. Thanks again for your help in providing information a bit earlier than usual for your 2009 / 2010 courses. Doing so has really helped us clean up the system. Your 2009 – 10 areas are now available. Enrollment will come in as students are formally enrolled. See http://www.esd.qmul.ac.uk/vle/staff/#student_access for information about how your students access your course.

You will see a few changes when you log in.

The first thing you’ll notice is that the name of the VLE has changed from “CE6″ to “Blackboard”. You can read about this here: http://www.esddelu.org.uk/news-and-events/name-change-on-college-vle/

Users should also note the following changes:

  • We have denied access to some non-standard accounts (any account beginning with the prefix ‘ns’) that have not been used in a while. So any NS accounts that have not logged in once in the last academic year are no longer able to log into the system. We will delete these accounts at the end of this academic year. If you need any account reactivated please contact us.
  • Unless you have agreed to a different course of action with us previously; your course has been ‘rolled over’ meaning that it has been refreshed for the coming year. Students have been removed and the course is ready for your new cohort
  • If you did not reply to emails sent to you regarding rollover it is likely that your course has been removed from the system. Please contact us if there are any problems.
  • Users in the MBBS programme should note that we were requested not to rollover these course areas. Enrollment data for the 09/10 year will start coming in shortly.

Our new sessions about the VLE for the coming year will be available under ‘E-Learning’ at www.esdcourses.org.uk from the first of September. Note that we can also offer bespoke training for your team or department, just get in touch for details.

In the coming year we will continue to publish VLE Service Announcements via the VLE itself and also via our blog (http://www.esddelu.org.uk/category/vleservice/). The blog announcements are visible on the VLE homepage (http://www.elearning.qmul.ac.uk/) and the log in page that follows. The blog has comments turned on so users can ask questions either there or via our request form on the support site (http://www.esd.qmul.ac.uk/vle/)

If you have any questions at all please get in touch via out query form: http://www.esd.qmul.ac.uk/vle/forms/ce6query/index.htm

Regards,

VLE Admin
