Robust, institution-wide VLE, integrated with student records
Project team; network of champions; set baseline expectations;embed LT core service
Combine pedagogy & tech; target courses & depts not individuals
Phase1VLE2006-
One-stop-shop for systems & tools, integrating hosted & institutionally-provided; Big network upgrade
Strengthen specialists + peer support; engage staff + students in LT review & develop ‘critical media literacy’
Rework courses for employability using LTs & external funding, eg £400K JISC SRC
Phase2Portal + Tools2008-
Uni services available for secure assembly “where & as you like ‘em”
Equip staff + students with skills to create their own digital environments
Opportunities to target more flexible, bite-sized activity

Our experience so far: Phase 2• Feedback on portal prototype shows students & staff value
convenience of personalised “one-stop-shop” & want more user-centred systems integration
• Surveys show high satisfaction & achievement on units where enthusiastic staff are using new tech
• Review of projects (such as staff laptops) developing good practice for moving experiment > pilot > service
