Being a bit thick, what do you mean by affiliation? Tim -----Original Message----- From: Virtual Learning Environments [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Stuart Lee Sent: 04 September 2006 11:11 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [VLES] Questions re VLE licences Dear All, I wonder if people could assist me with a very short set of questions re their current VLE and in particular their VLE licence. This is some background research for a chapter of a forthcoming book on "open courseware" and any replies will be treated entirely in confidence, and anonymised if I use any of the data. In short if you could reply to the following (off-list) that would be really useful, With thanks, Stuart --------- ALL questions are optional! 1. Name: 2. Affiliation: 3. Position: 4. VLE used at your institution: 5. Is your licence based on number of FTEs (e.g. students and staff)? If NO - how else is it calculated (if appropriate)? If YES please give further details: 6. If you wish to expand the number of FTEs using your VLE would this require a renegotiation of the licence? Please give further details: 7. Is it easy for you to make content within your VLE available to people *not* in your institution (e.g. people at other Universities, the public etc.)? 8. Would opening the VLE up in such a way require a renegotiation of the licence? Please give details: 9. Do you often make course content available to everyone *within* your institution (e.g. to all students), or is it generally limited to only those students who have elected to take that module? If you do not is this a policy decision, and/or for technical reasons? Any other comments would be gratefully received. In particular I am focusing on whether VLEs (open source or commercial) place barriers in the way of sharing content across courses, and with the outside world; and if so whether this is for reasons of internal policy, or whether the authentication/authorisation systems built into the VLE make this difficult, or whether it is financially prohibitive due to licensing issues. ********************************************************************* Dr Stuart D Lee, (Acting) Director of the Computing Services, and Member of the English Faculty, Oxford University Computing Services, 13 Banbury Road, Oxford OX2 6NN ------------------------------------------------------ E-mail: [log in to unmask]; Tel: +44 1865 283403; Fax: +44 1865 273275; URLs: http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/ ------------------------------------------------------ ***************** List information: ***************** Remember - replies go by default to the entire list.
