ANGEL: Authenticated Networked Guided Environment for Learning Work Package Two: Final Report

Use of MLEs at Partner Institutions

South Bank University:

• WebCT – used to support health courses and some business courses. A trial area for LITC has been set up (Angel Support). See: http://www.lisa.sbu.ac.uk/oscarr/2nd_level/learn/webct.htm.

• Blackboard – no concrete use at yet, but some staff members are ‘experimenting’ and future use is expected.

• FirstClass – used by the Faculty of Health. See: http://www.health-fc.sbu.ac.uk/

• Lotus Domino – used by the SCISM department, with a focus on content management. Controlled through a unit guide, http://edtech.sbu.ac.uk/units/catalog/catalog03.nsf/$All?OpenView&CollapseView
