Update on Learn Foundations project

The team working to improve the Learn Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) service is running a series of roadshows to update staff on their progress.

The Learn Foundations project team is hosting the events across the main campuses throughout January and February. 

You can see the schedule and sign up for a session on the project wiki page: https://edin.ac/2FMtq25

Working together

Since the last update, the team has run some very successful user experience studies to evidence how students and staff use learning and teaching materials online, and which materials offer the most value to them.

Updated system

If you choose to adopt the new Learn template in 2019 there will be additional support available to help make this happen.

This will be discussed at School level during consultations planned between January and March.

The new template, terminology and checklist will be available from June 2019 with training starting in May 2019 so that staff are able to prepare for making changes following the Learn rollover at the start of June.
