Technology Used

What technologies and/or e-tools were available to you?

The University uses WebCT Vista as its VLE. Whilst there is no compulsion to use this VLE, no other technologies were considered. The module team used this approach quite simply because all the key technologies needed were in place and ready to use. This approach used the assessment tools within WebCT Vista. In addition to this some members of the module team used Respondus to facilitate the writing of questions. Familiarity with these tools was also an important factor since both staff and students would either be fully familiar or be expected to gain familiarity with these tools for use in other modules.
