Engaging students
Virtual Learning Environments like Blackboard and Moodle provide a range of tools that enable teaching staff to engage learners in an online environment. By structuring the learning experience and making your online environment active you can encourage your students to participate.
The Support Portal includes a section on ‘Technology Enhanced Learning’ which includes engaging learners at a distance, the use of video and web conferencing and other engagement/communication tools such as wikis, blogs and discussion boards.

All efforts have been made to ensure materials created by the EDU comply with current accessibility guidelines (JISC: Support for learners with disabilities).
