The scheduled summer upgrade has been completed successfully and you can now login to Learning Edge as normal.
The upgrade introduces a number of improvements, which we hope you will like!
You will see that your ‘Courses’ homepage has been de-cluttered. Here you can now easily access all your programme and module course areas, your ePortfolio (aka Campus Pack) as well as your notifications and settings pages:
The old ‘Communities’ page has been updated to ‘Organisations’. Here you can can now easily access all the organisations that you are enrolled into, browse the Organisation Catalogue to find new spaces to join, and easily request a new space and manage your notifications and settings:
Your faculty resources page is now ‘My Library’. This page gives you easy access to your library account summary, library catalogue and discovery search tools, subject librarian contact details, study toolkits and lots more … check it out!
