The Leeds VLE Steering Group evaluated all aspects of the Blackboard system for a year prior to making the decision to sign a multi-year contract, and also took into account detailed feedback from staff and students.
Professor Vivien Jones, pro-vice-chancellor for learning and teaching and member of the VLE Steering Group, said: We needed a system that both satisfied our ever-increasing student and faculty demands and was highly scalable … we are confident that the Blackboard platform will give staff the leading-edge tools needed to realize our vision for developing a high-quality blended learning experience for all our students.
