• VLE Review Academic Staff Survey

     

    We have already had a great response to the academic staff survey which was circulated just before the Easter break.  Up to now there have been over 90 responses which is very encouraging.  The survey is looking in more detail around the important requirements in terms of a future VLE and its role in teaching and learning at Edge Hill.   This is a great opportunity to have your say.

    The project is moving along and the next phase will include  academic staff and students being invited to discussions with colleagues from across the UK who have moved recently to a new VLE and also get a chance to test out the new technologies both Blackboard and others are using.

    We will be keeping all staff and students posted about future events and so watch out for dates and news

    The survey is still open so if you haven’t completed it yet you can still get involved, the survey will close on 23rd April.

    Please get in touch with either Professor Mark Schofield or any members of the review team if you want to get involved when we begin testing and being creative with new technology!

  • EHU Student e-learning Survey still open

    The survey has been open for about four weeks now and the response rate has been fantastic. Thanks to all of you who have taken the time to complete the survey to date.  All of your comments are helpful and will help to inform our thinking about what kind of virtual learning environment Edge Hill needs.

    We’ve been asked to keep the survey open for one last week so have willingly agreed to do this. You can access it from http://surveys.edgehill.ac.uk/student2009 or from your Blackboard account.

    We look forward to hearing from you – and don’t forget, two lucky participants will receive £50 Amazon vouchers in our free prize draw.

  • Students, have your say about the VLE … and a few other technology-related things

    The VLE Project Review team have been running workshops with different groups of Blackboard users in order to develop a clear picture of the VLE and associated technologies that will meet (and hopefully exceed) the needs and expectations of Edge Hill students and staff.  Feedback from those attending the workshops has been incredibly positive about the process and the opportunities it provides for everyone to have their views heard. Last workshop for staff this semester is Friday 11 December 9.30 in Solstice and will be followed by a Festive Lunch with mulled wine. All welcome. To book a place and lunch, email Katherine Richardson ([email protected]) asap.

    Which brings me now to the 2009 EHU Student e-Learning Survey. This is the second online student survey produced by EHU’s  SOLSTICE Centre of Excellence for Teaching and Learning. It aims to develop an understanding of our students experience, expectations and use of technology-enhanced teaching and learning and this year will also feed into the VLE review. We used the findings from last year’s survey to improve our services to students and we will use this year’s responses to continue to improve existing services and inform new developments and improvements, especially concerning the proposed VLE  requirements.

    If you are an Edge Hill student, please (please!) complete our survey. There is a prize draw and two lucky participants will each win £50 worth of  Amazon vouchers.

    The survey may be accessed via the GO portal, from Blackboard, from the SOLSTICE webpages or from http://surveys.edgehill.ac.uk/student2009/. We plan to close the survey on 20th January 2010.

    EHU students, have your say! EHU staff, you are not forgotten as we’ll be running a survey for you in the New Year.
