Hagley's online learning environment

Well, if you are reading this you have accessed this via one of HCC's new learning resources (either our "Learning@HCC" Moodle or our eportfolio pages at MyPortfolio). These new resources form part of Hagley's new learning environment which, coupled with online email and access to online office tools mean many of our students can access much of their learning opportunities and tools 24hrs a day from any location; college, home, Internet cafe, mobile device on the move ....

There is still quite a long way to go of course especially with training users how to use the new tools (both as educators and learners) but we are getting there !

As with many new resources, they will take some getting used to and, of course, in many instances don't so much replace many of our current resources as complement and enhance them. You really need to have a go and try the new things out. There is very little you can break (!) unless you try very hard and are already a user who has sought a higher level of permissions.

In the months to come, ICT Services will be looking (with help from many teachers and support staff) at how our online learning environment would be best packaged and presented. Thus, there will be many subtle changes along the way.

If you would like to make a comment of how to make things look better or more accessible I am all ears!
