Mark, Our choice of VLE was based on it's lack of needless 'bells and whistles' to help remove technological barriers e.g. - poviding ease of use and intuitive access to the subject matter in-hand for students and staff alike - removing the need (and bottleneck?) for dedicated staff to manage course creation and user accounts so that they may be controlled directly by course tutors who may possess little technical knowledge (and thereby minimising technical support needed) Regards, Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------ Paul Blackmore Information & ICT Manager [Deputy Director:Operations & Projects] Lancaster University Careers Service Reception Lodge Lancaster LA1 4YW.
