The Richmond VLE or Virtual Learning Environment, is an important part of the Richmond Learning
Platform that comes with many Richmond products. Each Richmond Learning Platform has its own
URL which you can find on the back of your Richmond product e.g.
http://www.americanbigpicture.net
This Richmond VLE Student Guide explains how you can access and use the Richmond VLE.

eWorkbooks
eWorkbooks come with some Richmond courses, such as @work. They are digital versions of
the Workbooks and contain activities for each unit and lesson.
eWorkbooks record scores and progress themselves, rather than record them in the markbook.
Activities you complete in the eWorkbook are saved so you can come back to them at any time
and your teacher can see the activities you have completed too.
Back to top
Notepad exercises are not marked so
scores for these cannot be submitted
and recorded in the markbook.

You will need to enter an access code when you log in to the Richmond VLE for the first time.
You will find this code in the back of your Richmond book or on your Richmond CD-ROM. If you
cannot find your access code, please ask your teacher for help.
Once you have logged in, you can then use the Register new product link in the VLE to enter

If you do not know your institution code, click the Reset password link on your course
websites login page. We will then send you your institution code by email. If your account

4. Can I give my access code to another student?
During the 14 months in which each code is valid, it can be passed to another student by your
Training Manager. Once this is done you will not be able to see the product or the work you
have done on the product, so we recommend that you ask your Training Manager to do this
only if you know you are leaving your class.

5. Why can't I see the Richmond material for a course?
You can only see the material for a course if you have entered a valid access code for that
product. Use the Register New Product link in the Richmond VLE and enter the access code for
your new product.
Back to top
6. I am a self-study student. Can I join a class?
Yes. You may need to do this if you have joined an institution since registering for self-study, or
if the Training Manager for your institution asked you to register yourself.
Your Training Manager or teacher will need to give you the code of the class you want to join.
You should then log in to the Richmond VLE and click the Enter class code link at the top of the
screen. Your username and password will stay the same but as the member of a class in an
institution you will need to enter a new institution code the next time you log in. The code will
be sent to you in an email.
Once you have joined a class you will not be able to become a self-study student again without
registering for a new account.
