Do you use a VLE? Is your VLE performing well for you?
If you don't use a VLE, have you ever considered using open source
software?
Have any of you started to use the HE Scanning Licence?
Would you like to find more innovative ways of using your VLE so that it
doesn't just become a giant filing cabinet?
If the answer is yes to any of these questions, this could be the workshop
for you. See attached or below for further details and a booking form.
The deadline is tomorrow Friday 16 February.

learning/teaching?

• How VLEs can be used in different and innovative ways to support

design.
