The Problem with VLEs!!
![Page 8: Moving from blackboard](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e326eb4af9fbf548b47d3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

What is a VLE?
• Virtual Learning Environment• Utopian dream of packaged learning(!)• Is it a drop box?• Is it a communication device?• Is it a magic ‘teaching’ box (eLearning)?• Essentially it is a platform to disseminate
learning resources to students

What we had (2005-2011)…
Blackboard v.9.2
![Page 10: Moving from blackboard](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e326eb4af9fbf548b47d3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
www.spedutech.com023 8097 0968
What we have established (so far!)
SharePoint

WordPress

What a ‘VLE’ means to us
Academic ‘Jump Point’ for studentsCentralised Repository for Learning Resources
– a place for staff to ‘publish’ contentMaking Announcements to year groups
![Page 12: Moving from blackboard](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e326eb4af9fbf548b47d3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
www.spedutech.com023 8097 0968
Aspects of a ‘VLE’ we don’t use
☒Annual Recycle – we update the same areas☒Assessment – we record/publish grades
through our student records system☒SCORM-based learning packages or
‘eLearning’ – we are primarily a studio-based institution
![Page 13: Moving from blackboard](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e326eb4af9fbf548b47d3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
www.spedutech.com023 8097 0968
The roots of the VLE problem
• Boxed approach: 1 size fits all• Lack of (easy) development• Isolated (separate from other systems)• Not in tune with today’s cornucopia of social
media, searchability etc• Overly complex - too many (archaic) tools• Cost
![Page 14: Moving from blackboard](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e326eb4af9fbf548b47d3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
www.spedutech.com023 8097 0968
Why we chose SharePoint
• We originally wanted a DMS…• …but it provided us with platform to develop
more:– Gateway/portal to other resources– Centralized Platform (Single Sign On)– Improve Business efficiencies

Initial SharePoint Vision For AUCB
![Page 19: Moving from blackboard](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e326eb4af9fbf548b47d3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
www.spedutech.com023 8097 0968
Implementation at AUCB
• Minimal Stake Holder involvement – Key individuals from departments– Board level agreement around DMS– Quiz course leaders to establish what should
replace Blackboard
![Page 20: Moving from blackboard](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e326eb4af9fbf548b47d3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
www.spedutech.com023 8097 0968
Phased Approach
• Preparation:– Active Directory – spring clean!– ISA – firewalls to keep content internal and utilise
as SSO mechanism
![Page 21: Moving from blackboard](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e326eb4af9fbf548b47d3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
www.spedutech.com023 8097 0968
Phased Approach
• Phase One:– Student Portal– Staff Portal– DMS– Single Sign On – Email, Student Records etc– Course Blogs (WordPress) – RSS feeds acting as
announcements; pages as media publishing

Why add WordPress?
• Richer (media) experience than SharePoint• More immediate for staff to get used to
(familiarity, simplified)• Flexibility – plugins etc
![Page 26: Moving from blackboard](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e326eb4af9fbf548b47d3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Phased Approach
• Phase Two:– Intranet– My Stats– Contact Directory– Enhancements – Remote access to servers;
opening hours lists etc
