You Said, This Happened: Review of our Virtual Learning Environment (VLE)

To mark Speak Week, we're sharing a series of 'You Said, This Happened' articles to show you that your voice can make a difference on the bigger things at BU as well as at a course or unit level....

“Students told us it can be difficult to navigate through unit information, announcements and the different communities in myBU.”

This happened:

Over the last few months, BU students were asked to take part in usability testing, to select a new ‘virtual learning environment’ (VLE) to replace the current myBU. 

The students involved provided scores for the three VLE's being evaluated, using the SUS (System Usability Scale) scoring approach.

Their feedback will be included in the overall decision for which provider BU selects, to make sure we have a modern and exciting VLE that really enhances your learning experience.

We plan to announce which company we’ll use in the New Year, and rollout and the implementation plan for the new learning platform will start soon after.
