What We Use

We use a variety of learning technologies to assist in the learning processes of students in the Schools of Informatics and Engineering & Mathematical Sciences. Some are part of the University’s Strategic Learning Environment (SLE) used by all staff and students, such as Moodle, while others are niche tools used by a small but growing minority, such as iTunesU. We also develop and use our own tools such as SCOF.

Technologies that we are using at the moment include:

• Moodle
• SCOF
• iTunesU
• Adobe Connect Virtual Classroom
• MediaSite Lecture Capture
• Simple video devices (e.g. Flip cameras and Sony Bloggies)
• Edublogs
• Tablets
• Personal Response Systems (“Classroom Clickers”)
