Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) is a phrase used to describe teaching and learning methods that are supported or facilitated by the use of technology. This could include accessing teaching resources and activities online, communication tools and multimedia, online assessment, and classroom technologies, such as personal response systems and interactive whiteboards. We support a number of technologies to facilitate TEL. Click the links below to find out more about some of the core tools we can help with:

Moodle enables students and lecturers to interact within a collaborative virtual learning environment where course materials can be easily managed and accessed. Moodle is also used to handle electronic assignment submission.

Mahara is an e-Portfolio tool which is designed to allow users to create and share content. It can be used in a variety of ways, for example for assessment or for employability.

Wimba Create is a tool which is built into Microsoft Word. It allows users to generate web-friendly, interactive content, straight from a familiar editing environment.

Turnitin is a tool designed to deter and detect plagiarism, whereby submitted work is scanned against a large database of websites, books, journals and previously submitted papers.

We are also able to provide advice on:

  • e-Submission, marking and feedback
