Virtual Learning Environment

Queen’s Online for Learning and Teaching is an integrated environment for staff and students at Queen's.  The system enables the lecturer to create a resource to complement a classroom-based course or an entire course online.

Queen’s Online for Learning and Teaching enables lecturers to:

• Provide course materials that include text, images, video
• Communicate with students via discussion forums, email and broadcast messages
• Set up tutorial groups - provide group resources
• Allow students to self-assess with immediate feedback
• Allow students to upload assigments & receive feedback
• Evaluate student and course performances using data provided by the system
• Lecturers can make changes to a module, from any web accessible location and these changes will be available to students immediately.

Students are automatically registered for all their modules with Queen’s Online.  However, only modules that have been registered by the tutors will be visible to students.  To log into Queen’s Online, students require their student number and their University password.

Staff must register their modules with Queen’s Online for Learning and Teaching.  Contact the nominated member of staff in your School. 

VLE Resource Copy

If you are registered for a module in consecutive years it is possible to copy resources/folders from one academic year to the next.  This will save you starting your structure again from scratch.  All reources/folders will be copied.  You will need to edit the current year to reflect any changes.  Note that if you have used dates in the resources (e.g. a header/footer with "2006/07") you will need to delete the content and upload a new copy.

If you were not involved in the modules in previous years i.e. you have inherited the module – you need to get listed as involved in the previous year so that you can copy the resources across.  

From Queen’s Online Teaching, click on Resource Copy 

A list of available module for the current and previous year(s) will be displayed.  Contact your departmental VLE contact if you do not have access to the module in the previous year. 

Module Pre-enrolment

This allows existing students in certain Schools to pre-enrol onto modules for the following academic year.  Students are pre-enrolled on compulsory modules.  For elective modules the system works on a first come/first served basis. Academics check that each student has made appropriate selections. 

Pre-enrolment is completed before Semester 2 exams.  Once progression has been decided the students are finalised in their selected modules. 

All eligble students.

All School staff in participating Schools have access.
