================================================= LTSN evaluation project: Students Online Learning Experiences ================================================= Are you and your Economics department willing to provide access to an Economics course that is using a Virtual Learning Environment(VLE)eg Blackboard, WebCT, COSE etc? We need to gather data for an evaluation study that is investigating students use of VLEs. The study involves five different subject areas, including Economics and hopes to gather evidence of effective VLE use within Economics as well as generic evidence from the whole project. We then plan to make evidenced-base guidance available to assist in the use of VLEs. What's required: - a new unit/module,level 1 Economics, starting February/March that is using a VLE - students on this unit should preferably have no or little previous experience of working in a VLE environment - access to these students and staff involved for interviews etc - access to transaction data from the VLE If you are willing to give us access to your course, or would like to know more please reply to [log in to unmask] Many thanks Ros ******************************************** Ros O'Leary Deputy Director Economics LTSN Institute for Learning & Research Technology University of Bristol 8-10 Berkeley Square Bristol BS8 1HH Tel: +44 (0)117 928 7151 Fax: +44 (0)117 928 7112 Email: [log in to unmask] ******************************************** ---------------------- Chris Mitchell, Economics LTSN, Institute for Learning and Research Technology, University of Bristol, [log in to unmask]
