About LTG
The Learning Technology Group (LTG) is part of the Corporate Information Services (CIS) and deal with specific Learning and Teaching Support issues. From the 12/13 academic year all learning spaces are hosted in either Moodle or Sakai. You can access all of your learning spaces via the Student Portal. You can use LUVLE to access any of your spaces from prior to the 12/13 academic year.
Student Portal: The Student Portal is your gateway to the learning spaces for all of your enrolled modules. It also provides access to your email, calendar, timetable, library resources and much more.
MyPlace: The MyPlace system is now read only and you can still login to export any existing content. You can now develop your portfolio and perform PDP using the Mahara ePortfolio system.
MyPGR: The Student Portal is now your gateway to MyPGR, a private space for research students and their supervisors to record and share reflections on skills development, research goals and details of supervisory meetings.
What we do
The Learning Technology Group (LTG) has various roles but one of the main services we provide is developing and managing Lancaster's virtual learning environment 'Moodle' to support teaching and learning. If you are involved in T&L activities at Lancaster University and want to use the VLE or other e-learning tools, LTG will help.
Most of the web sites that LTG maintain are used for teaching and are not open access. Staff and students use their LAN login and password for access to the sites from anywhere on the Internet, not just on the Lancaster University network. Access controls on LTG web sites are maintained automatically by links with the university student record database (LUSI). All LTG web sites are 'dynamic' in the sense that new pages are created by people using a web browser, from email messages sent direct to the web site or from external databases.
