Enabling STEM Teachers to Make Better Use of the VLE

Produced by the Learning Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), this case study looks at the theme of harnessing technology. It describes how Highbury College moved the use of their virtual learning environment (VLE) from being mostly a document repository to a vehicle for interactive teaching, learning and assessment.

A programme of training and development was put in place. This aimed to equip science teachers with the skills to make more effective and engaging use of the VLE. This included developing an online training module in the use of the VLE.
