Changing VLE is an opportunity tochange pedagogical practice and revisitdigital capabilities

• Sometimes I think the internet is the problem. Many students express frustration at where to find things, to the extent that I think some give up looking.

• I know my students are digitally savvy, I only have to look at them in lectures, they’re always online, but since we adopted the policy of making module guides only available on the VLE they don’t seem to be accessing them. It’s like they want us to push the information towards them and are not prepared to look for it.

• ‘…you’ve got to slow up the digital environment which is a challenge. I think that’s the danger of virtual learning, that’s the difficulty, students are not really reading. I think virtual learning environments do somehow discourage deeper reading and its affects degrees. I think it’s that fundamental.

»We have not been using the VLE to its potential …i.e. for student participation and not just instructions.

»I will look into the possibility of sharing my social bookmarking site with my students to promote the use of peer-reviewed articles in their assignments.

»I’ve been introduced to things I would probably otherwise not have encountered such as Social Bookmarking, and participated in Blogs and Wikis which again, I probably would not have done.

»The emotions involved helped me reconnect with the Student viewpoint. This has impacted on my teaching style.

»There extensive opportunities to consider evidence-base for the use (or not) of social tools, enabled a critical perspective on applying new experiences for teaching purposes.
