An Evaluation of the Use of a New Virtual Learning Environment for a Postgraduate Hospital Pharmacist Programme

Abstract

As part of the collaboration with the University of Brighton a new VLE has been developed. This case study describes what was required of the VLE and how it has been developed and used to date.

• Requirements that the new VLE needed to address included:
• Students based externally being able to access course materials.
• Students on the same course being registered at two universities.
• Academic staff based at two universities being able to share teaching materials.
• Work-based tutors working across twelve hospital NHS Trusts being able to access course materials.
