Student Portal now launched

Students and staff can now login to the Student Portal to access Moodle and Sakai VLEs, Library and much more.

Project Overview

The Student Portal and VLE project aims to deliver a new Virtual Learning Environment (Moodle) for the university from the start of the 2012/3 academic year, replacing the existing LUVLE system. The project will also deliver a new student portal which will bring together content from a variety of sources relevant to the student and the stage of their academic studies. This will include their academic timetable and links to the appropriate VLE module spaces.
