VLE Evaluation..Phase 2 begins
Phase 2 now underway….
As the VLE Review Project progresses through Phase 2 of its life cycle we move into the evaluation of VLE Systems. The VLE Review Project Board has taken an executive decision to focus this phase of the project on two current latest release VLE Systems, Blackboard and Moodle.
The VLE Review Group are about to begin work with two universities who are happy to get involved and share their knowledge and experience of their recent projects which involved a transition to a new VLE. They are able to offer the academic, technology and IT infrastructure perspective which is vital in terms of how we evaluate Blackboard and Moodle. Visits to the sites have been arranged but there is to be a follow up event here at Edge Hill to allow a wider audience to meet the teams and explore the key components of their VLE’s via a presentation and then question and answer session.
More information and invitations coming soon..

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.
