“Manchester Metropolitan University makes extensive use of Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL) to support on campus face-to-face teaching. However, we are in unprecedented times with the widespread move to online delivery of university teaching, learning and assessment. The University’s VLE (Moodle) and associated software are arguably now more important than ever.
Please outline how you think:
the VLE needs to evolve to meet the new demands that widespread online delivery creates
appropriate and effective training can be provided to ensure that both staff and students can maximise the potential of this evolving technological environment for teaching and learning.”
