Learning Environments and Pedagogy (LEAP)
The LTSN Generic Centre commissioned 14 case studies from 7 universities to
look at how different pedagogies are being employed across different virtual
learning environments (VLEs) - namely Blackboard, WebCT and Lotus Notes. The
case studies will help teachers to choose successful teaching strategies
when using VLEs and will inform wider research into how VLEs can deliver
pedagogically sound learning and teaching.

Meeting: LEAP Wednesday 19th February 2003, York
This event aims to disseminate the results and issues raised from 14 case
studies written by lecturers who have hands on experience of using learning
environments for teaching, from 7 differnt institutions. The case studies
aimed to uncover different pedagogical applications within virtual learning
environments (VLEs) and to show that these were platform (WebCT, Blackboard)
independent. Four key pedagogical areas were focussed on: Assessment,
Blended Learning, Continuing Professional Development, and Role Play.
This event will examine the case studies from three differnt perspectives:
subject area, pedagogy, and platform. The day will be led by Kathy Wiles,
Senior Advisor, LTSN Generic Centre and Barbara Watson, University of
Durham.
