E-Learning
It is now widely recognised across the education sector, that e-learning will play an increasing role to widen access to learning opportunities and to enhance the quality and flexibility of learning in order to fully maximise the benefits that information communication technologies (ICT) can provide for learners.
The Centre for Academic & Professional Development aims to support academic staff who wish to use ICT to enhance their learning and teaching activities through the use of Blackboard, the University’s virtual learning environment.
If you are thinking about using Blackboard to introduce some e-learning methods into your teaching you may find the following guides a useful starting point. Within these guides there are links to further useful information.
