Unit Zero – Sample Unit

The Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is like a virtual classroom that the University uses to deliver the content of the MSc programme via the Internet. It has everything you need to study online and to help you manage your learning.

The VLE will allow you to:

• access your course materials
• take part in discussions with your tutor and other students
• receive notices, seminar dates, project support and other programme-related information
• ask questions regarding the administration of the programme
• seek help for technical problems that you encounter

There are a range of other tools available to you within the VLE, such as a calendar and a place to add your own personal profile.

To work online you do not need to install the software – you just need to connect to the website via an Internet connection. You can then log onto the VLE using your user name and password which will be sent to you. Your personalised VLE interface will then provide you with access to the modules for which you have formally registered.
