A post by Stuart Allan, Director of Online Learning, Edinburgh Business School (Heriot-Watt University), @OpenPlanStuart
Reports of ‘the death of the VLE’ have been circulating for long enough for it to become a kitsch subject in ALT circles. But the institutional VLE – whether as a monolithic system or a central column into which other technologies are integrated – remains a ubiquitous presence in most universities.

Claudia Moulin is a typical first-year English Literature student. Her institution has a virtual learning environment (VLE) that she uses daily to access course information and course materials. She finds it difficult to navigate, clunky and dated. She is also frustrated by the differences in how her lecturers use it - some use it a lot, others not at all. During Fresher’s Week, her institution offered VLE training but Claudia did not attend. She assumed that because she can easily learn how to use other websites, platforms, and apps, she wouldn’t have any trouble using the VLE. A month after classes begin, Claudia signs into the VLE to upload an assignment. It’s 11:52 and her assignment is due at 12:00. Unable to easily find the submission link, Claudia misses the deadline and has a 10% grade penalty.

Students are more satisfied than ever according to the National Student Survey results, which revealed that 85% were happy with the teaching on their courses. And on the other side of the desk, institutions are working hard to raise standards and meet student expectations. Last year, Jisc and our partners began to take a more holistic approach to supporting learning and teaching in universities with bespoke consultation and workshops, as well as a leadership development course for leading in technology-enhanced change. The early results are encouraging: the University of Gloucestershire said their involvement in the project “will produce a long-term legacy in changed culture and behaviour.”
