The team have been working over the past few weeks to bring together all the feedback and comments the VLE has generated.\u00a0 We thought this would be a good time to share some of those points.<\/p>\n
The review has captured views of staff and students in a variety of ways and this has been a very interesting process for all those involved.\u00a0 You will recall we have undertaken a number of events which included focus group style sessions with academics to see what would be important in the future Edge Hill VLE, the most important teaching and learning tools they would want to use, a comprehensive staff survey to allow for further comment and then the\u00a0 presentation event 3 weeks ago.<\/p>\n
The event showcased..warts and all..both Blackboard and Moodle.\u00a0 Here are some of the staff comments:<\/p>\n
