Why is e-learning important at Brookes?

e-Learning is of strategic importance to the achievement of this University’s mission.

We believe in the potential of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) to provide wider, fairer access to higher education and to further enrich the student learning experience by enabling flexible, student-centred learning opportunities.

A key component of e-learning at Brookes is Brookes Virtual, the University’s integrated Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), currently powered by WebCT and associated technologies. Brookes Virtual adds a new dimension to the delivery of the University’s courses to campus-based and distance learners.

How big is e-learning at Brookes?

  • Over 19458 students and 683 staff in over 1181 courses currently make use of Brookes Virtual.
    (Figures accurate at time of publishing: April 2006)
  • The University’s third-stage e-Learning Strategy, adopted by Learning and Teaching Committee on 15 December 2005, seeks to embed e-learning as a core institutional service and identifies outcomes and deliverables for e-learning until 2008.
  • The Information Processes and Systems Strategy (IPSS) is working to further integrate Brookes Virtual into the University’s business systems.

What about open and distance learning?

Brookes is committed to growth in the provision of flexible off-campus and blended programmes at all levels. A systematic review has been carried out of Open and Distance Learning (ODL) at Brookes to assist in guiding the expansion of the University’s ODL portfolio.

Who is involved?

e-Learning at Brookes is led by the Head of e-Learning. Key players are staff within Learning Resources (both in Computer Services and the Library, the Media Workshop, Graphics Workshop and Oxford Centre for Staff and Learning Development (OCSLD), as well as the e-Learning Champions and Learning Technologists within the Schools.
