We got bogged down in the first year’s students journey and asked ourselves how can we control the PLE, obviously we can’t so what we’ve looked at (generally speaking) was to agree a core set of tools that can run either inside or outside the VLE which the university staff will support and develop the use of. There may be a second or third level use of specific tools that may not be supported by the university, these may include Dropbox or Google Drive, which might be important for storage and access as well as students requiring this for other purposes. Third level use would be the tools students find themselves and seek support independently or get help from peers. But key to all this is should be that assessment must come back to the VLE. All assessment practice must be stored in the VLE.
